So live that when thy summons comes to join the innumerable caravan that moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his place in the silent halls of death, thou go not like a quarry slave, scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.

(William Cullen Bryant, Thanatopsis)


High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee
No 412 squadron, RCAF
Killed 11 December 1941



"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing,

pass this way again."

Determine never to be idle...It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate

When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, a hundred.

That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Answer 6

A traveler returns to his native village and is warmly greeted by his
neighbor. Eager to catch up on local affairs, the returning man asks the
other what's been going on since he left.
"Well," the neighbor replies. "You remember that horse I had? A couple of months ago he broke down the pasture fence and ran away."
"That's horrible news," the traveler responds with immediate sympathy.
"Not really," the other man responds "You see, he came back a few days later
and he brought a whole herd of wild mares with him. Now I have ten horses!"
"That's wonderful news!" exclaims the traveler.
"Not so wonderful,” the neighbor replies. “You see my son was trying to
ride one of the mares. She threw him, and he broke his leg."
"That's awful news!" says the traveler.
"Not so awful," his friend goes on. "You see, the following week the
army came by here and conscripted all the young men of the village to
fight in the war. But they couldn't take my son, because he
had a broken leg."
So you see, no matter what happens, you can never be sure if it’s awful news or wonderful news. You have to just wait and see.
