O, were damn'd beneath all depth in hell,
But that I did proceed upon just grounds
To this extremity.
I have done the state some service, and they know't;
No more of that, I pray you, in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice.
Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just;
And four times he who gets his fist in fust.
Truth is its [justice's] handmaid, freedom
is its child, peace is its companion, safety
walks in its steps, victory follows in its train;
it is the brightest emanation from the gospel;
it is the attribute of God.
There is a point at which even justice does injury.
Sophocles—Electra.

A sense of justice is a noble fancy.
Tegner—Frithjof's Saga. Canto VIII.
Suo sibi gladio hunc jugulo.
With his own sword do I stab this man

KATYDID
Thou art a female, Katydid!
I know it by the trill
That quivers through thy piercing notes
So petulant and shrill.
I think there is a knot of you
Beneath the hollow tree,
A knot of spinster Katydids,—
Do Katydids drink tea?

the walnut-tree over the well

Thou soft-flowing Keedron by thy silver stream
Our Saviour at midnight when Cynthia's pale

Shone bright on the waters, would oftentimes
stray
And lose in thy murmurs the toils of the day.

Kindness is wisdom. There is none in life
But needs it and may learn.

When they are not kind.
