    The heart, than the home is more,
    The loving outvies the living,
    The love is life's golden store.

    Cut thistles in July they may die
    Cut thistles in August die they must.

    May bear its fruit to morrow.
    37. Everywhere in life the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.
