Additional quotes by Robert W. Service

Oh it is good to ride and run,
To roam the reenwood wild and free;
To hunt, to idle in the sun,
To leap into the laughing sea

Wild and wide are my borders, stern as death is my sway;
From my ruthless throne I have ruled alone for a million years and a day

Marriage is a bachelor’s punishment for his sins

I count each day a little life, With birth and death complete; I cloister it from care and strife And keep it sane and sweet. - Robert W. Service
