The Immortality Of Influence
We scatter seeds with careless hand,
And dream we ne'er shall see them more;
But for a thousand years
Their fruit appears,
In weeds that mar the land,
Or healthful store.
The deeds we do, the words we say,
Into still air do seem to flee;
We count them ever past,
But they shall last.
In the dread judgment they
And we shall meet.
--Keble

GOOD COMPANY
"Try to frequent the company of your betters. In books and life, that is the most wholesome society; learn to admire rightly; the great pleasure of life is that. Note what great men admired; they admired great things; narrow spirits admire basely and worship meanly."
