--BISHOP HOPKINS.
There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and
without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who
prepares himself for them with patience.--LA BRUYERE.
Patience is the support of weakness; impatience is the ruin of
strength.--COLTON.
If the wicked flourish and thou suffer, be not discouraged. They are
fatted for destruction; thou art dieted for health.--FULLER.
Patience is sorrow's salve.--CHURCHILL.
PATRIOTISM.--He serves his party best, who serves the country best.
--RUTHERFORD B. HAYES.
This is a maxim which I have received by hereditary tradition, not
only from my father, but also from my grandfather and his ancestors,
that after what I owe to God, nothing should be more dear or more
sacred than the love and respect I owe to my country.--DE THOU.
Be just, and fear not;
Let all the ends thou aim'st at, be thy country's,
Thy God's, and Truth's.
--SHAKESPEARE.
Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we roam,
His first, best country ever is at home.
--GOLDSMITH.
I love my country's good, with a respect more tender, more holy and
profound, than my own life.--SHAKESPEARE.
Hail, Columbia! happy land!
Hail, ye heroes! heaven born band!
Who fought and bled in freedom's cause,
Who fought and bled in freedom's cause,
And when the storm of war was gone,
Enjoyed the peace your valor won.
