Sin is too dull to see beyond himself.
Shape your heart to front the hour, but dream not that the hours will last.
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, these three alone lead life to sovereign power.

Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Once in a golden hour I cast to earth a seed. Up there came a flower, the people said, a weed.
O earth, what changes hast thou seen!
No life that breathes with human breath has ever truly long’d for death.
Nature, red in tooth and claw.
Name and fame! to fly sublime thro’ the courts, the camps, the schools, is to be the ball of Time, bandied by the hands of fools.
My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure.
More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.
