THE BEST GOVERNED STATE
How the best state to know?—It is found out,
Like the best women—that least talked about.

MY BELIEF
What thy religion? Those thou namest—none!
None! Why?—Because I have religion!

FRIEND AND FOE
Dear is my friend—yet from my foe, as from my friend, comes good;
My friend shows what I can do, and my foe shows what I should.
