Strana 7 - Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite ; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. Ring out old shapes of foul disease, Ring out the narrowing lust of gold ; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand ; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be.
Strana 7 - I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right; stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
Strana 152 - LISTINE /K ^1\ that one bee can never make honey, for the reason that a bee alone has no intelligence. Bees succeed only by working for the good of other bees. A single bee, separated from the hive, is absolutely helpless, yet a hive of bees has a very great and well-defined purpose and intelligence. And this intelligence, Maeterlinck calls

Penology must be made a science to the end that when we imprison a man we do it for his own good, with the intent of turning out a better man than we took in. Just as long as the State sets an example of killing its enemies, individuals will occasionally kill theirs.
Strana 153 - Occasionally a bee will go off to the fields and come back gorged with honey, bringing nothing for the common stock, and this bee is quickly killed — stung to death by a self-appointed committee who sit on the case, and seem to consider that any bee that loses sight of the Spirit of the Hive and works for private good is sick, criminally insane, and cannot be allowed longer to cumber good space. Now it is quite probable that if we could communicate with a bee, and ask it why it makes honey, it...
Strana 82 - ... her husband dancing with a certain woman. He might dance with any other woman — but not that woman — he had promised he would not ! The sight stifled every generous emotion of her soul, and if she had had the power she would have blasted the man and woman dead at her feet.
Strana 143 - Among the pleasant duties of the President of France is that of signing all death warrants issued in the Republic. This is well. President Fallieres says, however, that there should be a slight change in the arrangement, to-wit : The judge who sentences the man to die, should also act as his executioner. President Fallieres knows full well that if this were the case it would do away with legalized homicide. He says, 'I will not ask another man to do that which I myself am unwilling to do.
Strana 9 - You may like me or not — it makes no difference — if ever you need my help, I am with you. Often we can help each other most by leaving each other alone; at other times we need the hand-grasp and the word of cheer.
