Listen, in every heart there burns a flame
For the love of glory or the dread of shame
But oh how happy we would be if we understood
There's no safety but in doing good
- Ballad Of John Henry
Throughout our lives, we review our growing catalogs of truth,
and sort through our expanding inventories of things unknown.[1]
you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Turkey in the Straw" is still popular today among street fiddlers and ice cream trucks. - Turkey in the Straw
