To stand at the crossroads requires more strength than you possess. - Heinrich Heine, in Hans Zinsser's "As I Remember Him," p. 40 If goodness leade him not, yet wearinesse May tosse him to my breast. - George Herbert, The Pulley (st. 4) We can do more good by being good, than in any other way. - Rowland Hill A bad man is like an earthen vessel,--easy to break, and hard to mend.
