KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY.
The Glum Groutchy Man.
His foot's always large and his head's always small,
And he can't see the good in the wide world at all;
No need to vote,
No need to quote
Any old thing that the editor wrote;
No need to harken to what preachers call
The threatening dangers of mankind's downfall.
His talk is red hot and his heart is dead cold,
He believes that all truth is outnumbered twofold
By falsehood and cheat And widespread deceit,
That the promise for good is some fervent air heat
Has a vehement doubt for all that is told.
No man's resolution may be counted to hold.
He questions religion, he doubts politics;
Believes that all nature is governed by cliques,
That all things go wrong
Because we belong
To a character weak and a temtpation strong. He's a prophet harm, and he always predicts That the right always fails; It's the evil tha sticks.
Wickedness, ruling since far time began. Has the world down and no effort can
Relieve happiness
From the weight of distress.
And rescue the people that evils oppress; He never finds pay dirt, knows only hard panSuch is the way of the glum groutchy man.
You should never hurry unless you are really in haste.
Life without industry is quiet-industry without art is brutality.
Blessed is that man who has found his work.
We become like that on which our hearts are fixed.
Abolish fear and you can accomplish whatever you wish.
We are not punished for our sins but by them.
Speak well of every one, if you speak of them at all—none of us is so very good.
We are all children in the Kindergarten of God.
Men are only Great as they are kind.
Talk less and listen more.
It is a wise guy who does not monkey with his destiny.
