In vain would I seek to discover Why sad and mournful am I, My thoughts without ceasing brood over A tale of the time gone by. [Ger., Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten, Dass ich so traurig bin: Ein marchen aus alten Zeiten Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.]
When thou dost tell another's jest, therein Omit the oaths, which true wit cannot need; Pick out of tales the mirth, but not the sin.
The dousing wand The lightning rod Conductor's baton Will's aligned spine They find the water, invoke the lightning attract the music and summon angels' aid.

A pity about the people! they are brave enough comrades, but they have heads like a soapboiler's. [Ger., Schad'um die Leut'! Sind sonst wackre Bruder Aber das denkt, wie ein Seifensieder.]
Three men, together riding, Can win new worlds at their will; Resolute, ne'er dividing, Lead, and be victors still. Three can laugh and doom a king, Three can make the planets sing.
If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.
If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his house, tho it be in the woods. And if a man knows the law, people will find it out, tho he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the prisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint landscape, and convey into oils and ochers all the enchantments of spring or autumn; or can liberate or intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses, 'tis certain that the secret can not be kept: the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his door.

Patton Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful. â¢Benjamin Disraeli Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. â¢William Feather All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure. â¢Mark Twain The reward of a thing well done is having done it. â¢Ralph Waldo Emerson It takes time to succeed because success is merely the natural reward of taking time to do anything well. â¢Joseph Ross Success is getting what you want, and happiness is wanting what you get. â¢Dave Gardner If at first you don't succeed, assassinate everyone who knows you failed. â¢Anonymous The secret of success is this: there is no secret of success. â¢Elbert Hubbard Success is determined by those whom prove the impossible, possible. â¢James W. Pence The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. â¢Vince Lombardi or â¢Donald Kendall The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Irving Berlin The first and most important step toward success is the feeling that we can succeed. â¢Nelson Boswell The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made. â¢Jean Giraudoux I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. â¢Bill Cosby Why be a man when you can be a success? â¢Bertold Brecht For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. â¢Richard Feynman Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.
Success is the one unpardonable sin against our fellows.
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.
To each his suff'rings; all are men, Condemn'd alike to groan; The tender for another's pain, Th' unfeeling for his own. Yet ah! why should they know their fate, Since sorrow never comes too late, And happiness too swiftly flies? Thought would destroy their paradise.
Ah, yes, the sea is still and deep, All things within its bosom sleep! A single step, and all is o'er, A plunge, a bubble, and no more.
I question not if thrushes sing, If roses load the air; Beyond my heart I need not reach When all is summer there.
These are the forgeries of jealousy; And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
Let others hail the rising sun: I bow to that whose course is run.
Thou shalt come out of a warme Sunne into God's blessing.
Whence are thy beams, O sun! thy everlasting light? Thou comest forth, in thy awful beauty; the stars hide themselves in the sky; the moon, cold and pale, sinks in the western waves. But thou, thyself, movest alone.
Begone about your business.
The Natural Clock-work by the might One Wound up at first, and ever since have gone.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
Thou breathing dial! since thy day began The present hour was ever mark'd with shade.
It was the cooling hour, just when the rounded Red sun sinks down behind the azure hill, Which then seems as if the whole earth is bounded, Circling all nature, hush'd, and dim, and still, With the far mountain-crescent half surrounded On one side, and the deep sea calm and chill Upon the other, and the rosy sky With one star sparkling through it like an eye.
See! he sinks Without a word; and his ensanguined bier Is vacant in the west, while far and near Behold! each coward shadow eastward shrinks, Thou dost not strive, O sun, nor dost thou cry Amid thy cloud-built streets. - Rev. Frederick William Faber,
