JOHN CHURTON COLLINS
English scholar and critic
(1848 - 1908)

Though pride is not a virtue, it is the parent of many virtues.
      - [Pride]

Wise men are more dependent on fools than fools on wise men.
      - [Wisdom]

In the downhill of life, when I find I'm declining,
  May my lot no less fortunate be
    Than a snug elbow-chair can afford for reclining,
      And a cot that o'erlooks the wide sea;
        With an ambling pad-pony to pace o'er the lawn,
          While I carol away idle sorrow,
            And blithe as the lark that each day hails the dawn,
              Look forward with hope for to-morrow.
      - To-morrow,
        found in the "Golden Treasury of Best Songs and Lyrical Poems"
        [Tomorrow]
