--EDWARD EVERETT.
He had great faith in loaves of bread
For hungry people, young and old,
And hope inspired; kind words he said
To those he sheltered from the cold.
In words he did not put his trust;
His faith in words he never writ;
He loved to share his cup and crust
With all mankind who needed it.
He put his trust in Heaven and he
Worked well with hand and head;
And what he gave in charity
Sweetened his sleep and daily bread.
No cloud can overshadow a true Christian but his faith will discern a
rainbow in it.--BISHOP HORNE.
Faith in God, faith in man, faith in work: this is the short formula
in which we may sum up the teachings of the founders of New
England,--a creed ample enough for this life and the next.--LOWELL.
FAME.--None despise fame more heartily than those who have no possible
claim to it.--J. PETIT-SENN.
He who would acquire fame must not show himself afraid of censure. The
dread of censure is the death of genius.--SIMMS.
Though fame is smoke, its fumes are frankincense to human thoughts.
--BYRON.
He lives in fame that died in virtue's cause.--SHAKESPEARE.
Whatever may be the temporary applause of men, or the expressions of
public opinion, it may be asserted without fear of contradiction, that
no true and permanent fame can be founded, except in labors which
promote the happiness of mankind.--CHARLES SUMNER.
