Cradle a thought on a bough of a tree,Where it will swing so lazily,Where it will gather to its heartAll in Nature’s lovely mart.For every lovely living thingStops to talk by a tree and sing,Of what has gone on that very dayIn fields and forests far away.If little thoughts hear happilyAll that’s said about a tree,They’ll grow to be so wise and true,They’ll come back to the heart of youMuch stronger, grown in beauty free,Because their cradle was a tree.

Happy childhood knows no stingThat the age of stealth doth bring.Stealing hours from the dayTakes the joys of strength away.Stealing hours from the NightTaking all—for rest is Might.When we steal away a Trust,Nothing ever can we giveBack to him and so we mustNever Steal, but Give to Live.

Woman, the unreasonable Reason for the Great Reason, which the sages call Life—Others not so knowing call it Love.Faith—The Engagement—repartee of Love. Hope—Marriage—maybe its reply, but Charity—Divorce—is the retort courteous.The wedding march or two-step, I should say, is only too often the lock-step.Punishment is seldom unmerited, though we may not always see the cause.It is unwise to doubt others when you are not sure of yourself.Scientists are fools in some respects, I mean the so-called ones, for they ignore the science of all important things.Friend is symbolical of Heaven, but some play Hell with it.Fun is a healthy disease and is very contagious.“May I intrude” is often substituted for “Do I intrude"—bores are not connoisseurs in the selection of verbs.Make the best of what comes, for the best is coming.The Great Divide is the division of thought which separates the Wise from the Fools.Whatever has in it the element of restlessness is like the poison ivy plant; it causes rash and spasmodic movements, and after all the scratching the victim is worse off than before.Worlds, and Worlds to live in, and so few do.Care is helpful if we carefully care, but when we carelessly care, be careful.Gossip—never related in the same way.When you eat hash you do not always recognize the different kinds of meat in it, do you? So it is with Twice Told Tales.We always prefer the most difficult way. It seems so much more important, but once we realize it, truth is always simplest when it is Truth.It takes a hero to accuse no one, but take another’s accusation to his heart.Love’s greatest expression is Service.Eyes are living windows.Into the garden we all go, but most are looking for the worm in the bud and never see the promise of the flower.
