    There is a destiny that makes us brothers;
    None goes his way alone:

    Comes back into our own.
    Edwin Markham (1852–1940)

    Conscience was the barmaid of the Victorian soul. Recognizing that human beings were fallible and that their failings, though regrettable, must be humoured, conscience would permit, rather ungraciously perhaps, the indulgence of a number of carefully selected desires.
    —C.E.M. (Cyril Edwin Mitchinson)

    The grip that swung the ax in Illinois
    Was on the pen that set a people free.
    —Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
