Part 25 (2/2)

Without a sign his sword the brave man draws, And asks no omen but his country's cause.

--_Pope._

There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will.

--_Shakespeare._

To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis n.o.bler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take up arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing, end them?

--_Shakespeare._

Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.

--_Webster._

Our grand business is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

--_Thomas Carlyle._

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as G.o.d gives us to see the right.

--_Lincoln._

Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

--_Gray._

POOR RICHARD'S SAYINGS.

G.o.d helps them that help themselves.

The sleeping fox catches no poultry.

What we call time enough always proves little enough.

Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy.

Drive thy business, let not that drive thee.
