HIDE your intellect, do what you are expected to do, say what you are expected to say, and you will be at peace. Dean Swift.

SUNSHINE, poetry, love, joy, enrich us infinitely: but what makes their riches so precious is, that what they give us is our own it is our own spirit that they free from its bondage, that they rouse out of its torpor. They give us ourselves.

GARIBALDI, 1807.

Julius Hare.

MAN'S work is to labor and leaven

As best he may — earth here with heaven;

'Tis work for work's sake that he's needing;
Let him work on and on as if speeding
Work's end, but not dream of succeeding!
Because if success were intended,

Why, heaven would begin ere earth ended.

Robert Browning.

EVERY cup that holds a self-sacrifice is a Holy Grail.

Lyman Abbott.

COVENTRY PATMORE, 1816.

GENIUS is nothing but great good sense, or real apprehension, exercised upon objects more or less out of common sight; . . . Men with great strength of apprehension are easily capable of things which inferior characters regard as great self-sacrifices.

BE not amaz'd at life. 'Tis still
The mode of God with his elect:
Their hopes exactly to fulfil,

In times and ways they least expect.

Coventry Patmore.

THE

energy

of life may be

Kept on after the grave, but not begun;

And he who flagg'd not in the earthly strife,
From strength to strength advancing — only he,
His soul well-knit, and all his battles won,
Mounts, and that hardly, to eternal life.

Matthew Arnold.

PATIENCE is the ballast of the soul that will keep it from rolling and tumbling in the greatest storm.

Bishop Hopkins.
