How Sleep The Brcrve
How sleep the brave, who sink to rest
By all their country's wishes blest !
When spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould, She there shall dress a sweeter sod, Than fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung; By forms unseen their dirge is sung; There honor comes, a pilgrim grey, To bl'ess the turf that wraps their clay; And freedom shall a while repair To dwell, a weeping hermit, there!
-Wm. Collins.
Thomas Ccrlyle Sqid:
Your mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your permission.
ft is no achievement to be beautiful when young; nature and heredity attend to that. But to be beautiful when old is an accomplishment and possible only to those who have lived a life of truth and beauty.
Like an orange tree, bearing simultaneously blossoms and ripening fruit, good citizens must strive to be continuously useful. Our diverse tal'ents, however small, all have their value.
Ten men banded together in love can do what ten thousand separate$r would fail in.
Scripps Biogrcrphy
E. .W. Scripps, late big-time newspaper publisher, wrote his autobiography very frankly, calling i1-"1)3s1nsd Old Crank." In it he describes the great part that books played in his life. He write:

"f am a businessman and yet the chief part of my life's energies has been devoted to the thoroughly unbusinesslike practice of library reading. For every hour I have devoted to my business I have devoted at least three hours to literature, and on subjects entirely foreign to my own or any other kind of business."
Whcrt Any Mcn Ccm Do
To bear up under lbss, to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief, to be victor over anger, to smile when tears are close, to resist disease and evil men and base instincts, to hate and to love, to go on when it would seem good to die, to seek the glory and the dream, to look up with unquenchable faith in something ever more to bethat is what any man can do, and be great.-Zane Gray.
Words
Your soul may be stirred by musicThe plaint of a violin, Skirl of the Scottish bagpipes, Or a brass band's martial din; Surge of a mighty organ, Thrill of a soaring bird; But-have you ever harkened To the lovely tilt of a word?
Words that the ancient masters Played with a quaint quill pen, Words with the rhythmic falling Of streams in a mountain glen; Lyrical words like 'ltwilight," "Carolling,t' ttlaughter," t'pine," Mimicking words like "tinkle," ."Quiverr" and "click," and t'whine."
Magical words like "galleon," "Catavanr" t'starr" ttlagoon;t' And who can resist the cadence That lies in "afternoon?"
Lords of the tongues of Babel', Grant us the ear to reach, That inner intricate beauty, Haunting the realm of speech.
-Mollv Bevan.
He Wqs Improving
A French exploration unit working its way through the wild of Africa, came upon a party of cannibal's about to make a feast upon the body of a fallen enemy. The cannibal chief greeted the explorers with courtesy, and spoke to them in excellent French. When they expressed surprise at his command of their language, he explained that he had gone to school in France. Said one of the explorers:
"You've been educated in France, and still you are a cannibal ! You haven't changed !"
"Oh yes I have," said the dusky chief. "Now I use a fork."
The Scientific Mind
Francis Bacon described the attitude of the scientific mind as: "The desire to seek, the patience to doubt, fondness to mediate, slowness to assert, readiness to reconsider, carefulness to dispose and set in order, and hating every kind of imposture."
A Gentlemqn
William Lyon Phelps said that the final test of a gentleman is "his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him."
