The Office Of Poetry Is Not To

No One Can Be Great, Or Good, Or Happy Except Through The Inward Efforts Of Themselves.

And Now Because You Are His Child, Live As A Child Of God; Be Redeemed From The Life Of Evil, Which Is False To Your Nature, Into The Life Of Goodness, Which Is The Truth Of Your Being. Scorn All That Is Mean; Hate All That Is False; Struggle With All That Is Impure Live The Simple, Lofty Life Which Befits An Heir Of Immortality.

This Is The True Liberty Of Christ, When A Free Man Binds Himself In Love To Duty. Not In Shrinking From Our Distasteful Occupations, But In Fulfilling Them, Do We Realize Our High Origin.

To Grieve Over Sin Is One Thing, To Repent Is Another.

This World Is Given As The Prize For The Men In Earnest; And That Which Is True Of This World, Is Truer Still Of The World To Come.
