Humble in a humble state and great in greatness, I will work out the divinity that is busy within my mind.
Words have a longer life than deeds.
Time is the turning over of days, works change for better or worse.
Unsung, the noblest deed will die.
He is gifted with genius who knoweth much by natural inspiration.
If one but tell a thing well, it moves on with undying voice, and over the fruitful earth and across the sea goes the bright gleam of noble deeds ever unquenchable.
