“Across a world where all men grieveAnd grieving strive the more,The great days range like tides and leaveOur dead on every shore.”

“More men are killed by overwork than the importance of the world justifies.”

“I keep six honest serving men (they taught me all i knew); Theirs names are What and Why and When And How And Where and Who.”

“For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.”

“Our hearts where they rocked our cradle,Our love where we spent our toil,And our faith, and our hope, and our honor,We pledge to our native soil.God gave all men all earth to love,But since our hearts are small,Ordained for each one spot should proveBeloved over all.”

“There is sorrow enough in the natural wayFrom men and woman to fill our day;But when we are certain of sorrow in store,Why do we always arrange for more?Brothers & Sisters, I bid you bewareOf giving your heart to a dog to tear.”

“We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding.”
