Joaquin Miller Quotes and Quotations
The biggest dog has been a pup. "Brave admiral, say but one good word: What shall we do when hope is gone?" The words leapt like a leaping sword: "Sail on! sail on! and on!" In men whom men condemn as ill I find so much of goodness still, In men whom men pronounce divine I find so much of sin and blot I do not dare to draw a line Between the two, where God has not. But to him who tries and fails and dies, I give great honor and glory and tears. The bravest battle that ever was fought; Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find it not; It was fought by the mothers of men. That man who lives for self alone Lives for the meanest mortal known. |
