But he who looks in Folly's tempting eyes,
And turns away, perceiving her disguise.

Who have not known the rapture, joy, and strife
Of my brief youth, its passion and its tears. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Each well-born soul must win what it deserves.
Let the fool prate of luck. The fortunate
Is he whose earnest purpose never swerves,
Whose slightest action or inaction serves
The one great aim. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
