Yee Bow
They got me into the Sunday-school
In Spoon River
And tried to get me to drop Confucius for Jesus.
I could have been no worse off
If I had tried to get them to drop Jesus for Confucius.
For, without any warning, as if it were a prank,
And sneaking up behind me, Harry Wiley,
The minister's son, caved my ribs into my lungs,
With a blow of his fist.
Now I shall never sleep with my ancestors in Pekin,
And no children shall worship at my grave.

All lawyers are not Liars
The girl is dead when she left my head.
Philosophy and religion are confusion
Don't confuse Confucius with religion.
It is only Confucius knows where the vote goes,
A sage of a past age.
Except of course for Nigeria;
Where the incubent President
Chooses the coming President.
They always play the same old song
And the people always dance the same old dance.
But there will be sun after the rain
Even Lucifer will not live forever.
But of course, it is so true.
Not all lawyers are liars.

What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.
To see the right and not to do it is cowardice.
To see what is right and not to do it, is want of courage.
I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being.
He who will not economize will have to agonize.
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.
If we don't know life, how can we know death?
When you are laboring for others let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.
To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage or of principle.
Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
The superior man...does not set his mind either for anything, or against anything what is right he will follow.
He who merely knows right principles is not equal to him who loves them.
Go before the people with your example, and be laborious in their affairs.
I hear and I forget. I see and I believe. I do and I understand.
You cannot open a book without learning something.
