Little Ships At Dunkirk
(Author Unknown)
Long after the shadow of war is fled, And the last battle is fought, Men will remember the little ships, And the great thing they wrought;
We shall tell over with laughter and tears, The homely names they bore, They were not meant for baptism by fire, Or the grim uses of war.
Paddler, and dinghy, and sailing barge, Eagle, and queen, and belle, And humble marthas of the ports, That have no name to tell.
Let us remember them and their men, Who asked not fee pej fame, But all.they knew was a job to do, And they spat on their hands-and s3rns.
They dared the hell of the shell-swept dunes, The hell of the bomb-torn tide, They cared not a damn if they sank or swam, Or yet if they lived or died.
Home they came from that coast of death, Each with her tale of men, Stayed but to set them safe ashore, Then back to hell's mouth again.
Therefore while England's cliffs shall stand, And the Channel tides shall roll, We will remember the little shipsHow they saved an army of men.
Truth

Love making hasn't changed materially since the early centuries. According to legend, Greek damsels used to have to sit and listen to a lyre all evening, just as the girls do now.
Lecrdership
Theodore Roosevelt once wrote: "The leader for the time being, whoever he may be, is but an instrument to be used until broken and then to be cast aside; and if he id worth his salt he will care no more when he is broken than a soldier cares when he is sent where his life is forfeit in order that the victory may be won.
"fn the long fight for righteousness the watchword for all of us is spend and be spent. It is a little matter whether any ohe man fails or succeeds; but the cause shall not fail for it is the cause of mankind
"We, here in America, hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years; and shame and disgrace will be ours if in our eyes the light of high resolve is dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden hopes of men. If on this new continent we merely build another country of great but unjustly divided material prosperity, we shall have done nothing: and we shall do as little if we merely set the greed of envy against the greed of arrogance, and thereby destroy the material well-being of us all."
Home At Lqst
The visitor dropped into a small and unpretentious church on Sunday morning, just as the preacher was giving his text, and stood in the rear until the text was finished. The text was:
"We have left undone those things we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done."
The stranger smiled, found a seat, and sat down. "Thank the Lord," he was heard to say; "I've found my crowd at last."
Hold Not Lorre
Hold not to love. It withers in your grasp. As the silken lily droops within your clasp; The wild bird's singing rises clear and freeLlntamed, it's beauty flashes through eternity. -Eclythe Hope Genee.
Something Fitting
Wendell Holmes
When men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundations of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas; that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground on which their wishes safely can be carried out."-Oliver

"To go,with what?" asked the salesman.
"A short office manager," said the tall blonde.
