For gentle worthiness and merit won;
Who ruled a king may wander earth in rags
For things done or undone.”
Or, as an unknown poet says:
“One ship sails East and another sails West
With the self same winds that blow.
'Tis the set of the sail, and not the gale,
Which determines the way they go.
As the winds of the sea are the ways of fate
As we voyage along through life.
