It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.

The Place Where We Are Right

From the place where we are right
Flowers will never grow
In the spring.

The place where we are right
Is hard and trampled
Like a yard.

But doubts and loves
Dig up the world
Like a mole, a plow.
And a whisper will be heard in the place
Where the ruined
House once stood.
