Would you have your songs endure? Build on the human heart.

What a name! Was it love or praise? Speech half-asleep or song half-awake? I must learn Spanish, one of these days, Only for that slow sweet name's sake.

Needs there groan a world in anguish just to teach us sympathy?

Who knows most, doubts most; entertaining hope means recognizing fear.

Why stay on the earth except to grow.

The common problem, yours, mine, everyone's Is ? not to fancy what were fair in life Provided it could be ? but, finding first What may be, then find how to make it fair Up to our means.

Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
