The thought of God – most neglected in life of all
humanity’s attributes, easily cover’d with dust,
deluded and abused, rejected,
yet the only certain source of what all are seeking,
but few or none find.

I say whoever labors here,
makes contributions here,
or best of all sets an incarnated example here,
in life or death,
is dearest to humanity –
remains after the rest are gone

The present will have its rights.
If one seizes the present, and treats with a freshness
of feeling what is offered one, one almost
always makes sure of something good,
and if one sometimes does not succeed,
one has, at least, lost nothing.

Hold fast by the present.
Every situation-nay, every moment- is of infinite worth,
for it is the representative of a whole eternity.
