Youth Covets; Let Not This Covetousness Seduce

Posterity Weaves No Garlands For Imitators.

Think With Awe On The Slow And Quiet Power Of Time.

Thus Arm In Arm With Thee I Dare Defy My Century Into The Lists.

There Is No Such Thing As Chance; And What Seem To Us Merest Accident Springs From The Deepest Source Of Destiny.

Courage, Ne'er By Sorrow Broken! Aid Where Tears Of Virtue Flow; Faith To Keep Each Promise Spoken! Truth Alike To Friend And Foe!
