Every man's experience of to-day is that he was a fool yesterday and the day before yesterday. To-morrow he will most likely be of exactly the same opinion. - [Experience] Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one. - [Groups] Aid the dawning, tongue and pen: Aid it, hopes of honest men! - Clear the Way [Help] There's a fount about to stream, There's a light about to beam, There's a warmth about to glow, There's a flower about to blow; There's a midnight blackness changing Into gray; Men of thought and men of action, Clear the way. - Clear the Way, in "Voices from the Crowd" [Tomorrow] Cleon hath ten thousand acres,-- Ne'er a one have I; Cleon dwelleth in a place,-- In a cottage I. - Cleon and I [Possession] But the sunshine aye shall light the sky, As round and round we run; And the Truth shall ever come uppermost, And Justice shall be done. - Eternal Justice (st. 4) [Justice] Some love to roam o'er the dark sea's foam, Where the shrill winds whistle free. - Some Love to Roam [Navigation] Tell me, ye winged winds That round my pathway roar, Know ye not some spot Where mortals weep no more? - Tell Me Ye Winged Winds--The Inquiry [Tears] Water is the mother of the vine, The nurse and fountain of fecundity, The adorner and refresher of the world. - The Dionysia [Water] There's a good time coming, boys; A good time coming: We may not live to see the day, But earth shall glisten in the ray Of the good time coming. Cannon-balls may aid the truth, But thought's a weapon stronger; We'll win out battle by its aid, Wait a little longer. - The Good Time Coming [Future] War in men's eyes shall be A monster of iniquity In the good time coming. Nations shall not quarrel then, To prove which is the stronger; Nor slaughter men for glory's sake;-- Wait a little longer. - The Good Time Coming [War] There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay Some forms of life arise. - There is No Such Thing as Death [Death] And he sand: "Hurra for my handiwork!" And the red sparks lit the air; Not alone for the blade was the bright steel made; And he fashioned the first ploughshare. - Tubal Cain (st. 4) [Blacksmithing]
