Quotes

• “Where lives the man that has not tried,How mirth can into folly glide,And folly into sin!”
• “But mankind—the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.—From the time that the mother binds the child's head, till the moment that some kind assistant wipes the death-damp from the brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual help. All, therefore, that need aid, have the right to ask it of their fellow-mortals; no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.”
• “Come as the winds come, whenForests are rended,Come as the waves come, whenNavies are stranded.”
• “War's a fearsome thing. They'll be cunning that catches me at this wark again.”
• “Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!To all the sensual world proclaim,One crowded hour of glorious lifeIs worth an age without a name.”
• “Time will rust the sharpest sword,Time will consume the strongest cord;That which molders hemp and steel,Mortal arm and nerve must feel.”
