Believe not each accusing tongue,
As most weak people do;
But still believe that story wrong
Which ought not to be true.
—Sheridan
He prayeth best who loveth best
All things, both great and small,
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.
—Coleridge
For whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as Kindness,
And nothing so royal as Truth.
—Alice Cary
To do something, however small, to make others happier and better, is the highest ambition, the most elevating hope, which can inspire a human being.—Lubbock
Small service is true service while it lasts.
Of humblest friends, bright creature! scorn not one:
The daisy, by the shadow that it casts,
Protects the lingering dew-drops from the sun.
—Wordsworth
Look up and not down;
Look forward and not back;
Look out and not in;
And lend a hand.
