Side 239 - Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, without fear, and with a manly heart.

Side 239 - Yet what binds us, friend to friend, But that soul with soul can blend ? Soul-like were those hours of yore ; Let us walk in soul once more ! "Take, O boatman, thrice thy fee ; Take, — I give it willingly ; For, invisible to thee, Spirits twain have crossed with me ! " " O, that is beautiful, — beautiful exceedingly ! Who translated it?
Side 351 - I am in the place where I am demanded of conscience to speak the truth ; and therefore the truth I speak, impugn it whoso list.
Side 351 - What I have been to my country, albeit this unthankful age will not know, yet the ages to come will be compelled to bear witness to the truth.
