| QUOTATION: | It’s wiser being good than bad; It’s safer being meek than fierce; It’s fitter being sane than mad. My own hope is, a sun will pierce The thickest cloud earth ever stretched; That after Last returns the First, Though a wide compass round be fetched; That what began best can’t end worst, Nor what God blessed once prove accurst. |
