O, brother man! fold to thy heart thy brother;
where pity dwells, the peace of God is there.
Shoot, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare your country's flag," she said.
All John Greenleaf Whittier quotes →
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
The free-lance writer is a man who is paid per piece or per word or perhaps.
Three sleepless nights I passed in sounding on,
Through words and things, a dim and perilous way.
