|  In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking. | | Death is delightful. Death is dawn, The waking from a weary night Of fevers unto truth and light. | | Each day the world is born anew for him who takes it rightly. | | Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind. | | Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof; it is temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship. | | And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days. |
