More from Richelieu. Act iii. Sc. i.
- In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves For a bright manhood, there is no such word As “fail.”
- Take away the sword; States can be saved without it.
- 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!
- 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.
