James Russell Lowell - Sayings
Work rating: Low

I.

In life`s small things be resolute and great
To keep thy muscle trained: know`st thou when Fate
Thy measure takes, or when she`ll say to thee,
`I find thee worthy; do this deed for me`?

II.

A camel-driver, angry with his drudge,
Beating him, called him hunchback; to the hind
Thus spake a dervish: `Friend, the Eternal Judge
Dooms not his work, but ours, the crooked mind.`

III.

Swiftly the politic goes: is it dark?--he borrows a lantern;
Slowly the statesman and sure, guiding his steps by the stars.

IV.

`Where lies the capital, pilgrim, seat of who governs the Faithful?`
`Thither my footsteps are bent: it is where Saadi is lodged.`
