Thus hand in hand through life we'll go;
Its checker'd paths of joy and woe
With cautious steps we 'll tread.
--
The Fireside, Stanza 31, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

I think it's a very confused culture. On the one hand, no one is better than anyone else; no one is prettier. On the other hand, everyone is completely obsessed by their looks and by how they strike the world. On the one hand, we're all equal; on the other hand, everyone's a superstar. It's all very irrational, like all ideology.

 

Martin Amis

 

Be still, my heart, away with pain!
Though passion stirs again
In blood that now flows slowly
And leads to paths once known,
These paths you tread in vain
For youth has flown.

 

Hermann Hesse

 

Lord, the day is at hand. We are in the last days. You are a Jehovah God. We know that the times are in your hands. And we give them to you…The day is at hand, Lord, when your return will come nigh. Nothing is more important than bringing sheep into the fold. Than bringing new life into the kingdom…You have weeded that garden. The harvest is at hand.

 

Michele Bachmann

 

Harvey sought for truth in Truth's own book
— Creation — which by God himself was writ;
And wisely thought 'twas fit
Not to read comments only upon it,
But on th' original itself to look.
Methinks in Art's great circle others stand
Lock'd up together hand in hand:
Every one leads as he is led,
The same bare path they tread,
A dance like that of Fairies, a fantastic round,
With neither change of motion nor of ground.
Had Harvey to this road confined his wit,
His noble circle of the blood had been untrodden yet.

 

William Harvey

 

Guide Thou my hand within that hand of Thine —
Thy wounded hand! — until its tremblings take
Strength from Thy touch.
