More from Eugene Aram

• Fate laughs at probabilities.
• A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.
• Alone!-that worn-out word, So idly spoken, and so coldly heard; Yet all that poets sing and grief hath known Of hopes laid waste, knells in that word ALONE!
• Ambition has no risk.
• Beneath the rule of men entirely great, The pen is mightier than the sword.
• Buy my flowers,-oh buy, I pray! The blind girl comes from afar.
