Ambition has no risk. - Edward Bulwer-Lytton

Buy my flowers—O buy—I pray!
The blind girl comes from afar;
If the earth be as fair as her children say,
These flowers her children are!

Truth makes on the ocean of nature no one track of light—every eye looking on finds its own.

Be prepared for either wisdom through joy, or wisdom through grief. Enough that, looking only through the mechanism by which this mortal world is impelled and improved, you know that cruelty is impossible to wisdom.
