Quotes

  • There's the wretched rent to pay,Yet I glower at pen and ink:Oh, inspire me, Muse, I pray,It is later than you think!
  • "It's coming soon and soon, mother, it's nearer every day,When only men who work and sweat will have a word to say;When all who earn their honest bread in every land and soilWill claim the Brotherhood of Man, the Comradeship of Toil;When we, the Workers, all demand: `What are we fighting for?' . . .Then, then we'll end that stupid crime, that devil's madness -- War."
  • Mud is mankind in the moulding,Heaven's mystery unfolding
  • This is the law of the Yukon, and ever she makes it plain:"Send not your foolish and feeble; send me your strong and your sane --Strong for the red rage of battle; sane for I harry them sore;Send me men girt for the combat, men who are grit to the core
  • Wild and wide are my borders, stern as death is my sway;From my ruthless throne I have ruled alone for a million years and a day
  • This is the Law of the Yukon, that only the Strong shall thrive;That surely the Weak shall perish, and only the Fit survive.Dissolute, damned and despairful, crippled and palsied and slain,This is the Will of the Yukon, -- Lo, how she makes it plain!
