  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Do the work that's nearest,
    Though it's dull at whiles,
    Helping, when you meet them,
    Lame dogs over stiles.
    "Rome was not built in a day."
    The ancient proverb teaches;
    And nature by her trees and flowers
    The same sweet sermon preaches.
    Think not of far out duties,
    But of duties which are near;
    And having once begun to work,
    Resolve to persevere!
