And marching single in an endless file, Bring diadems and fagots in their hands. To each they offer gifts after his will, Bread, kingdoms, stars, and sky that holds them all. I, in my pleached garden, watched the pomp, Forgot my morning wishes, hastily Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day Turned and departed silent. I, too late, Under her solemn fillet saw the scorn. EMERSON SPIRE, break bounds, I say, Endeavor to be good, and better still, And best. Success is nought, endeavor's all. BROWNING 2 PERSEVERANCE sometimes equals genius. An Eastern proverb says "Only two creatures can surmount the pyramids, the eagle and the snail." 3 IF you want knowledge you must toil for it; if good you must toil for it; and if pleasure you must toil for it. Toil is the law. Pleasure comes through toil, and not by self-indulgence and indolence. When one gets to love his work his life is a happy one. RUSKIN w I ILT thou seal up the avenues of ill?

EDGAR ALLAN POE IN ODE TO SCIENCE 20 THE moment we feel angry in controversy we have already ceased striving for truth, and be- gun striving for ourselves. 21 A SNEER is the weapon of the weak.

CHARLES HENRY WEBB JHarth T I DISLIKE extremely the passage in which you appear to consider the disregard of individuals as a lofty condition of mind. My own experience and development deepen every day my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy. ^ ^ J J GEORGE ELIOT 2 HERE is no time so miserable but a man may be true. c SHAKESPEARE 3 PEOPLE who seem to enjoy their ill temper, have a way of keeping it in fine condition by inflicting privations on themselves. That was Mrs. Glegg's way : she made her tea weaker than usual this morning; and declined butter. ^ ^ GEORGE ELIOT DO you know the meaning of goodness? I will tell you. It is first to avoid hurting any thing; and then to contrive to give as much pleasure as you can. MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT FOR my part if I try to characterize my friends, I fail to do them perfect justice, of course; and yet the imperfect result remains representative of them, and I can't get them back again into the un- defined and the ideal where they belong. One ought never to speak of the faults of one's friends; it mu- tilates them; they can never be the same afterwards. W. D. HOWELLS Elizabeth Barrett Browning, born 1806 I AM come to think That God will have his work done, as you said, And that we need not be disturbed too much. E. B.

I 9 NOW Dives feasted daily, and was gorgeously arrayed, Not at all because he liked it, but because 'twas good for trade. That the people might have calico he clothed him- self in silk, And surfeited himself with cream, that they might have more milk. He fed five hundred servants, that the poor might not lack bread, And had his vessels made of gold, that they might have more lead; And e'en to show his sympathy with the deserving poor, He did no useful work himself, that they might do the more. 10 THE language of friendship is not words but meanings. It is an intelligence above language. THOREAU I I A CONSERVATIVE is a man who will not look at the new moon, out of respect for that ancient institution, the old one. 12 JUDGE not, the workings of his brain And of his heart thou canst not see; What looks to thy dim eyes a stain, In God's pure light may only be A scar brought from some well-won field, Where thou wouldst only faint and yield. The look, the air that frets thy sight, May be a token that below, The soul has closed in deadly fight With some infernal fiery foe, Whose glance would scorch thy smiling grace, And cast thee shuddering on thy face. ADELAIDE PROCTER 13 WE too often forget that we are not what we aspire to be; and that the far different thing that we are y is that alone by which we are known. 14 KEEP the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise every day.

GEORGE ELIOT 20 EFE like war is a series of mistakes; and he is not the best Christian nor the best general who makes the fewest false steps. He is the best who wins the most splendid victories by the retrieval of mistakes. F. W. ROBERTSON 21 TO avenge one's self is to confess that one has been wounded; but it is not the part of a noble mind to be wounded by an injury. A great mind, and one that is conscious of its own worth, does not avenge an injury, because it does not feel it. SENECA 22 SOCIETY has this good at least: that it lessens our conceit by teaching us our insignificance and making us acquainted with our betters.

LOWELL 29 IT has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when to-morrow's bur- den is added to the burden of to-day, that the weight is more than a man can bear. GEORGE MACDONALD 3 EASTER is the time for renewal. Dry branches clothe themselves afresh ; the bare earth becomes alive with the upspringing verdure. The significance of all this is accomplishment. First the awakening, next the effort of growth, then harvest. For each one of us such should be the course of life. Ever the new birth of inspiration, growth into earnest purpose, and the fruitage as shown in exalted character and loving service. ABBY MORTON DIAZ 3 1 IT seems Very certain that the world is to grow richer and better in the future, however it has been in the past, not by the magnificent achievements of the highly gifted few, but by the patient faithfulness of the one-talented many. PHILLIPS BROOKS 'The grass grows bright, the boughs are swoln with blooms Like chrysalids impatient for the air, 'The shining dorrs are busy, beetles run Along the furrows, ants make their ado; Above, birds fly in merry flocks, the lark Soars up and up, shivering for very joy ; Afar the ocean sleeps; white fishing-gulls Flit where the strand is purple with its tribe Of nested limpets ; savage creatures seek Their loves in wood and plain and God renews His ancient rapture. Thus He dwells in all, From life's minute beginnings, up at last To man. BROWNING A s San Antonine my country is Rome; as a man it is the world.

P 9 THERE is no good way to do a bad deed. E 10 STEEM it a great part of a good education to be able to bear with the want of it in others. PYTHAGORAS (580 B.

LOWELL 12 SELF-SACRIFICE is well enough,but don't give yourself to be melted over for the tallow trade. GEORGE ELIOT BUT now I pray for Love; Deep love to God and man; A living love, that will not fail However dark His plan.

SHAKESPEARE 24 WHAT makes life dreary is the want of motive. GEORGE ELIOT 2 5 OGLAD am I that I was born! For who is sad when flaming morn Bursts forth, or when the mighty night Carries the soul from height to height. For joy attunes all beating things, With me each rhythmic atom sings From glow to gloom, from murk till morn, O glad am I that I was born.

And when I am stretched beneath the pines, Where the evening star so holy shines, I laugh at the love and the pride of man, At the sophists' schools and the learned clan, For what are they all in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet. EMERSON w RECONCILIATION ORD over all, beautiful as the sky, Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost. WALT WHITMAN 3 ^ I ^HE beautiful is the Essence of Life. It is also JL the grand symphony of the world which can be interpreted only by those who possess a profound knowledge of its laws, and of the relation between discords and harmonies. Now the bright Morning-star, day's harbinger, Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her 'The flowery May, who from her green lap throws tfhe yellow cowslip, and the pale primrose. Hail, bounteous May, thou dost inspire Mirth, and youth, and warm desire; Woods, and groves are of thy dressing, Hill, and dale doth boast thy blessing. 'Thus we salute thee with our early song, And welcome thee, and wish thee long. MILTON E,T us put flowers into the hands of our friends instead of placing them upon their coffins. FOR here we are, and if we will but tarry a little, we shall come to learn that here is best. See to it only that thyself art here, and art and nature, hope and faith, angels and the Supreme Being shall not be absent from the chamber where thou sittest. 3 IT must not be said to man, Enjoy ; life is the right to happiness: but rather, Work; life is a duty; do good without thinking of the consequences to your- self; he must not be taught, Go each according to his wants, or go each according to his passions, but rather, Go each according to his Love. ^r TH E higher the state of civilization, the more com- pletely do the actions of one member of the social body influence all the rest, and the less possible is it for any one man to do a wrong thing without interfering more or less with the freedom of all his fellow-citizens.

BROWNING 8 THIS is the law of benefits between men: the one ought to forget at once what he has given, and the other ought never to forget what he has received. SENECA THERE are many cases in life where to convince, even of error, is a breach of the charity that we owe to one another. IO THE world ever loves to charge those as mad who, in devotion to a great cause, exceed its cold standard of moderation. Singular, that excess in virtue should incur this reproach, while excess in vice is held but as a weakness of our nature. WILLIAM WARE I I HE only is advancing in life, whose heart is get- ting softer, whose blood warmer, whose brain quicker, whose spirit is entering into living peace. RUSKIN 12 WE 'LL one another treat like gods, And all the faith we have In virtue and in truth, bestow On either, and suspicion leave To gods below. THOREAU 13 THE truth is that to work insatiably, requires much less mind than to work judiciously, and less courage than to refuse work that cannot be done honestly. HELPS 14 THE threads our hands in blindness spin No self-determined plan weaves in; The shuttle of the unseen powers Works out a pattern not as ours.

PLATO 20 THERE are those who can give more pleasure in a cordial hand-shake, than others can give in a learned talk about love and good cheer. August 21 IT is evident that the part of the soul by which we learn, is wholly intent to know the truth; and as to wealth and glory, it cares for these least of all. PLATO 22 HE lost the game, no matter for that, He kept his temper, and swung his hat To cheer the winner; a better way Than to lose his temper and win the day. 23 MY duty is what no one else can do for me.
