| Experience. |
| The hard-won fruit of failure and of sorrow, The wisdom many buy, but few will borrow. |
| Facts and Ideas. |
| We cherish our ideas like hot-house flowers, Fact, stubborn ass, breaks in and all devours. |
| Facts and Imagination. |
| In facts amassed a world chaotic lies, Imagination bids the Kosmos rise. |
| Faith. |
| Faith prays more fervently for love than light; Love's voice will guide to Heaven though all be night. |
| Faith without Love. |
| Who loveless faith imbibes, that devil's drink, Makes life a mad-house, death a fiery sink. |
| Faith and Reason. |
| Reason, God's revelation shows to Faith, Faith, Reason arms for sorrow or for death. |
| Faith's Effect. |
| Pierced hearts by faith may light and cheerful be; Pure gold admits the finest filigree. |
| Fear of Pedantry. |
| Scared by the name of pedant, many flee Into pert slang or tedious levity. |
| Fire-eater. |
| The roar of cannon-balls delights his ears, To him it is the music of the spheres. |
| Foolhardiness. |
| Take sense away and men won't dare the less, But courage then we call foolhardiness. |
