Give all thou canst ; high Heaven rejects the lore Of nicely calculated less or more.
Page 15 - The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his Lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his Lord...
Page 14 - ... *New occasions teach new duties; time makes ancient good uncouth; * they must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of truth; lo, before us gleam her campfires! We ourselves must Pilgrims be, launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea, nor attempt the future's portal with the past's blood-rusted key.
