Page 14 - GARDEN A GARDEN is a lovesome thing, God wot! Rose plot, Fringed pool, Ferned grot — The veriest school Of peace; and yet the fool Contends that God is not — Not God! in gardens! when the eve is cool? Nay, but I have a sign: Tis very sure God walks in mine.
Page 19 - Did you tackle that trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful? Or hide your face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful?

Page 44 - I BELIEVE in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of a printed book, in lessons taught, not so much by precept as by example, in ability to...
Page 19 - Well, well, what's that? Come up with a smiling face. It's nothing against you to fall down flat, But to lie there — that's disgrace.
Page 19 - And though you be done to the death, what then? If you battled the best you could. If you played your part in the world of men. Why, the Critic will call it good. Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce. And whether he's slow or spry. It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts. But only how did you die?
