“Real joy comes not from ease or riches or from the praise of men, but from doing something worthwhile.”

“I have found more inspiration in the cottages of fishermen than in the palaces of the rich.”

“Progress everywhere today does seem to come so very heavily diguised as Chaos.”

“Wading sloughs of flesh these helpless wander,Treading blood from lungs that had loved laughter.”

“He's lost his colour very far from here,Poured it down shell-holes till the veins ran dry”

“For by my glee might many men have laughed,And of my weeping may something have been left,Which must die now.”

“You shall not hear their mirth:You shall not come to think them well contentBy any jest of mine. These men are worthYour tears:You are not worth their merriment.”
