Why linger o'er decrepit shrine
In Hellas or in Palestine?
America as Greece is grand,
America is Holy Land.

More quotes by Frederic Lawrence Knowles

I find no foeman in the road but Fear —
To doubt is failure, and to dare, success!

The Night walked down the sky
With the moon in her hand.

If Love were jester at the court of Death,
And Death the king of all, still would I pray
"For me the motley and the bauble, yea,
Though all be vanity as the Preacher saith,
The mirth of love be mine for one brief breath!"
