More quotes by Bret Harte

Virtue always meets reward,
But quicker when it wears a sword

Never a tear bedims the eye
That time and patience will not dry.

And then, for an old man like me, it's not exactly right,
This kind o' playing soldier with no enemy in sight.

But, when the goddess' work is done,
The woman's still remains.

With the smile that was childlike and bland.

The Heathen Chinee (1870)
