Life is tons of discipline.

So when at times the mob is swayed To carry praise or blame too far, We may choose something like a star To stay our minds on and be staid.

For, dear me, why abandon a belief, Merely because it ceases to be true, Cling to it long enough, and not a doubt, It will turn true again, for so it goes.

The people I am most afraid of are those who are the most afraid.

Belief is better than anything else, and it is best when rapt - above paying its respects to anybody's doubt whatsoever.

Some spirit to stand simply forth, Heroic in its nakedness, Against the uttermost of earth.

Nor is there wanting in the press Some spirit to stand simply forth, Heroic in it nakedness, Against the uttermost of earth. The tale of earth's unhonored things Sounds nobler there than 'neath the sun; And the mind whirls and the heart sings, And a shout greets the daring one.
