GREAT LINES FROM GREAT POEMS
(PART
ONE)
1.Remember, no men are strange, no
countries foreign,
Beneath all uniforms, a single body
breathes
Like ours; the land our brothers walk
upon
Is earth like this, in which we all
shall lie. ---James Kirkup.
2. Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and
fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
----Christopher Marlowe.
3. Make new friends, but keep the
old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.----Joseph
Parry.
4. All paths lead to you
Where e’er I stray,
You are the evening star
At the end of the day.----Blanche
Shoemaker Wagstaff.
5. The rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.-----Robert
Louis Stevenson.
6. Be Strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to
drift;
We have hard work to do and loads to
lift;
Shun not the struggle --- face it; ‘tis
God’s gift.----Maltbie Davenport Babcock
7. I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me,
And the good that I can do.----George
Linnaeus Banks.
8. There are loyal hearts, there are
spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to
you.-----Mary Ainge De Vere.
9. Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
Thus the little minutes,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.----Julia A. Fletcher
10. Look up and not down.
Look forward and not back.
Look out and not in.
Lend a hand.----Edward Everett Hale.
