Unseen hands delay The coming of what oft seems close in ken, And, contrary, the moment, when we say "'Twill never come!" comes on us even then.

Good -humor is goodness and wisdom combined.

They only fall, that strive to move, Or lose, that care to keep.

We are but as the instrument of Heaven.

Rest is sweet after strife.

Heaven's slow but sure redress of human ills.

Life is good, but not life in itself.
