Part 3

For the times that I hurt you, the times I had no smile for you, the caresses that I did not give you, my mother forgive me. For your lessons I did not learn, for your wishes I did not heed, for the counsels I did not obey, my mother, forgive me. Forgive me my pride in my youth and my glory in my strength that forgot the holiness of your years and the veneration of your weakness,--for my neglect, for my selfishness, for all the great debts of your love that I have not paid, mother, sweet mother, forgive me.

And may the peace and the joy that passeth all understanding be yours, my mother, forever and ever. Amen.

--Tom Dillon

It is not too much to believe that a permanent organization can be formed which will take over to itself the whole business of the regulation of international affairs.

--Chittenden

"Why should we ridicule, think very droll, Indian legends and carved totem pole, When we, in blindness are equally odd In misconception of life and of God?"

--Harriman

A NEW LEAF

He came to my desk with a quivering lip,-- The lesson was done, "Dear Teacher, I want a new leaf," he said, "I have spoiled this one." I took the old leaf, stained and blotted, And gave him a new one, all unspotted, And into his sad eyes' smiled; "Do better now, my child."

I went to the throne with a quivering soul,-- The old year was done, "Dear Father, hast thou a new leaf for me? I have spoiled this one." He took the old leaf, stained and blotted, And gave me a new one all unspotted, And into my sad heart smiled, "Do better, now, my child."

--Carrie Shaw Rice

THE TOILER'S FEAR

There is one thing I fear. Not death, nor sharp disease, Nor loss of friends I hold most dear, Nor pain nor want,--not these. But the life of which men say, "The world has given him bread, And what gives he to the world as pay For the loaf on which he fed?"

--Anna Louise Strong

The only territory the United States has ever acquired by discovery, exploration and settlement; the only territory that cost us nothing in cash by way of purchase, or by the use of military, or naval force.

--Snowden

DON'T WORRY

Don't hurry or worry; Be still and keep cool, For hurry and worry But make you Time's fool.

Don't b'lieve what they tell you 'Bout Time's flowing stream, 'Tis Eternity now, dear, All else is a dream.

Don't seek for a heaven In far distant skies. It lies all around you Just open your eyes.

Henry Victor Morgan.

Toot, toot, toot, Everything a-quiver Toot, toot, toot, Look up the North River. Toot, toot, toot, Something new afloat. Toot, toot, toot, The first steamboat.

Yankee Doodle Book.

"If we believe that people are mostly dishonest, ungenerous, selfish, gossiping, troublesome, we would better be looking at ourselves and trying to find out what is the matter with us."

--Lou G. Diven

"I venture to say that if there is one lesson written more plainly than any other across the pages of human history it is this, that God cannot be forgotten with impunity,--but for all that the popular tendency is to leave God out of account. I plead for the bringing of God back into touch with human life."

--Keator

OPTIGRAMS

The good we can think of is always possible.

To dole out a few turkeys at Christmas is good; but to have a social order where every man can buy his own turkey is vastly better.

Real sympathy is motional as well as emotional; energetic, as well as pathetic, taking no pleasure in "tears, idle tears."

Some people seem to enjoy giving publicity to their disappointments.

Women understand men better than men understand women.

The only personalities who hold permanently the devotion and admiration of humanity are the idealists.

You can preach the gospel through a handshake, a glance, a laugh, a lifting word.

What we don't know, never frightens us; it is what we half-know which is the fertile seed-plot of fear.

Golf is an artificial substitute for man's native need for work in the open air.

What we really care for in people is not their social standing nor the fashionableness of their haberdashery, but their kindness, reliability and integrity.

God has no stepchildren.

Naked, brutal force has never settled anything yet. Stoning Stephen to death only gave him a more distinguished immortality.

We do not want "peace at any price." We want to pay justice, truth, trust and good will for it.

--Hugh Elmer Brown

A little cloud of blue came out And settled on the sod. Then one cried "Oh, forget-me-nots." One bowed and murmured, "God."

--Higginson
