| | | For grief indeed is love, and grief beside. | 1 |
| God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers, / And thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face, / A gauntlet with a gift in it. | 2 |
| Knowledge by suffering entereth, / And life is perfected by death. | 3 |
| Let us be content in work / To do the thing we can, and not presume / To fret because it’s little. | 4 |
| Love strikes one hour—love. Those never loved / Who dream that they loved once. | 5 |
| The blue of heaven is larger than the cloud. | 6 |
| We tolerate everybody, because we doubt everything; or else we tolerate nobody, because we believe something. | 7 |
| Whoever may / Discern true ends will grow pure enough / To love them, brave enough to strive for them, / And strong enough to reach them, though the road be rough. | 8 | | |
