My business is not to remake myself, but to make the absolute best of what God made.
Just for a handful of silver he left us, Just for a riband to stick in his coat.
A pretty woman's worth some pains to see.
A man in armor is his armor's slave.
What I aspired to be and was not, comforts me.
I hold that a man should strive to the uttermost for his life's set prize.
