• Is it worthwhile that we jostle a brother, Bearing his load on the rough road of life? Is it worthwhile that we jeer at each other, In blackness of heart - that we war to the knife? God pity us all in our pitiful strife

• Man's books are but a climbing stair,
  Lain step by step, like stairs of stone;
  The stairway here, the temple there -
  Man's lampad honor, and his trust,
  The God who called him from the dust.

• Man's books are but man's alphabet,
  Beyond and on his lessons lie -
  The lessons of the violet,
  The large gold letters of the sky;
  The love of beauty, blossomed soil,
  The large content, the tranquil toil:
  The toil that nature ever taught,
  The patient toil, the constant stir,
  The toil of seas where shores are wrought,
  The toil of Christ, the carpenter;
  The toil of God incessantly
  By palm-set land or frozen sea.
