“Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;

There rings no hunters’ shout;
But their name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.”

“Youth enters the world with very happy prejudices in her own favour. She imagines herself not only certain of accomplishing every adventure, but of obtaining those rewards which the accomplishment may deserve. She is not easily persuaded to believe that the force of merit can be resisted by obstinacy and avarice, or its lustre darkened by envy and malignity.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“[T]he temple through which alone lies the road to that of Liberty.”
