The fear that kills, and hope that is unwilling to be fed.

The good die first; and they whose hearts are dry as summer dust burn to the socket.
      - [Death]

The good old rule
  Sufficeth them, the simple plan,
    That they should take who have the power,
      And they should keep who can.
      - [Power]

The stars are mansions built by nature's hand,
  And, haply, there the spirits of the blest,
    Dwell, clothed in radiance, their immortal rest.

      - [Action]

Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
      - [Thought]

To be young was very heaven!
      - [Youth]

To check the erring and reprove;
  Thou who art victory and law,
    When empty terrors overawe,
      Give unto me, made lowly wise,
        The spirit of self-sacrifice.
      - [Duty]

Truth takes no account of centuries.
      - [Truth]

We sail the sea of life; a calm one finds,
  And one a tempest; and, the voyage o'er,
    Death is the quiet haven of us all.
      - [Life]

What are fears but voices airy?
  Whispering harm where harm is not,
    And deluding the unwary
      Till the fatal bolt is shot!
      - [Fear]

What is pride? a whizzing rocket
  That would emulate a star.
      - [Pride]

Where rivulets dance their wayward round, and beauty born of murmuring sound shall pass into her face.
      - [Beauty]

Who swerves from innocence, who makes divorce
  Of that serene companion--a good name.
    Recovers not his loss; but walks with shame,
      With doubt, with fear, and haply with remorse.
      - [Names]
