A man must first govern himself ere he is fit to govern a family; and his family ere he be fit to bear the government of the commonwealth.

Better it were not to live than to live a coward.

No one is wise or safe, but they that are honest.

Use your youth so that you may have comfort to remember it when it has forsaken you, and not sigh and grieve at the account thereof.

An anthology is like all the plums and orange peel picked out of a cake.

A man must first govern himself ere he is fit to govern a family; and his family ere he be fit to bear the government of the commonwealth.

A wandering minstrel I A thing of shreds and patches Of ballads, songs and snatches And dreamy lullaby!
