| "The Song" by "Sages and martyrs, and those blessed few Who loved us once and were beloved of old..." (Excerpt from Chapter 2) ...Who can sing thy force? Or who can describe the swiftness of thy course? Phillis Wheatley, first published Afro-American poet (1753-1784) "On Imagination" Look-see! (James Filmer) Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) and ...with liberty and justice for all. Francis Bellamy - The Pledge of Allegiance (US) recognize that We do not always win the race By only running right, We have to tread the mountain's base Before we reach its height. Ella Wheeler Wilcox - "Life" so Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart. Confucius At the same time Beware, as long as you live, of judging people by appearances. Jean de la Fontaine (1621-1695) insomuch as Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done. Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) Besides Not all of us have to possess earthshaking talent. Just common sense and love will do. Myrtle Auvil (1803-1882) In contrast Most of the trouble in the world is caused by people wanting to be important. T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) who've forgotten, never knew, or choose not to see that These are really the thoughts of all men[women] in all ages and lands, they are not original with me, If they are not yours as much as mine they are nothing, or next to nothing. Walt Whitman (1819-1892) from "Song of Myself" Remarkably, and sadly too, Life is more full when lights and shadows meet, Than in the midnight gloom or noonday glare; And human hearts have little tenderness Till grief and joy have met in fond caress. Anonymous from "Sunlight and Shadow" The difference is that instead of dirt and poison, we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax; thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) Oh, blessed lights that make the shadows sweet, That make the world so exquisitely fair! Life is more full when lights and shadows meet, Than in the midnight gloom or noonday glare... "Sunlight and Shadow" leaving room to consider It has memory's ear that can hear without having to hear... Marianne Moore (1887-1972) "The Mind is an Enchanting Thing" that Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. Victor Borge (1909-2000) that Every human heart is human, That in even savage bosoms There are longings, yearnings, strivings For the good they comprehend not... Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "The Song of Hiawatha" that Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. Will Rogers that C is for cookie, it's good enough for me; oh cookie cookie cookie starts with C. "Cookie Monster" from Sesame Street Then again People only see what they are prepared to see. Ralph Waldo Emerson For instance He thinks on men and kings. Yea, when the sick world cries, how can he sleep? Too many peasants fight, they know not why. Vachel Lindsay (1879-1931) from "Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight"... |
