“With hand on the spade and heart in the sky Dress the ground and till it; Turn in the little seed, brown and dry, Turn out the golden millet. Work, and your house shall be duly fed: Work, and rest shall be won; I hold that a man had better be dead Than alive when his work is done.” MenHeartLittlesDoneHandsTurnsHouseWorkAliveSkyDressesSeedsGoldenDryBrownFedsSpades Book:The Poetical Works of Alice and Phoebe Cary Source: The Poetical Works of Alice and Phoebe Cary
“True worth is in being, not seeming- In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good, not in the dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.” MenLittlesDreamKindnessYouthGreat ThingsThings To DoFancyEach DaySpiteBlindnessRoyalSeemingTrue Worth Book:The Poetical Works of Alice and Phoebe Cary Source: The Poetical Works of Alice and Phoebe Cary
