Quote on integrity and resilience in the face of slander
The passage extols living with injury to others avoided, facing lies with cheer, and upholding dignity and duty in poverty. It urges standing tall while others flatter for praise and power, saying no when others say yes, and avoiding public bribery of standards. It emphasizes courage, honesty, and steadfastness.
The Passing Of Good Manners In A Modern Age
A dated exhortation on declining courtesy and polite behavior urges restoring old fashioned manners. It condemns loud talking gum chewing and ungentlemanly conduct while urging home and school focus on small courtesies and Christian, cultured bearing as superior to wealth or vulgar applause.
Magnified Assumption of Ownership Across Racial Lines
A verse steeped poem questions claims of possession by white settlers, arguing the Earth belongs to the Lord and all peoples share kinship. It recalls scripture from Psalm 24 and Noah's ark, asking when ownership was granted to any group and urging a view of global ownership as divinely shared.
What the man is and not what he has
The passage argues character over possessions and calls for reform in manners through true refinement. It references white supremacy, a pledge against loss to the oppressor, and invokes Michael the fighting angel in heaven, framing a moral contest between virtue and sin.
