01Undated"What is the real good?" I asked, in musing mood. "Order," said the court; "Knowledge," said the school, "Truth," said the wise man, "Pleasure," said the fool, "Love," said the maiden, "Beauty," said the page, "Freedom," said the dreamer, "Home," said the sage; "Fame," said the soldier, "Equity," said the seer. Spake my heart full sadly— "The answer is not here." Then within my bosom Softly this I heard: "Each heart holds the secret; Kindness is the word."John Boyle O'Reilly / quote ↗
02UndatedBe silent and safe — silence never betrays you; Be true to your word and your work and your friend; Put least trust in him who is foremost to praise you,Nor judge of a road till it draw to the end.John Boyle O'Reilly / quote ↗
04UndatedOrganized charity scrimped and iced In the name of the cautious statistical Christ.John Boyle O'Reilly / quote ↗
07UndatedIt has always been the aim of royalty and aristocracy to lower the individual liberty and independence of the common people. A baron and a minute-man could not breathe the same air.John Boyle O'Reilly / quote ↗
08UndatedIt is heroic to prepare for war with a tyrant power. Patriots will always win the admiration of mankind for daring to meet the bloodshed of battle for their country's liberty. But the patriot who is willing to go to that sacrifice will be the first to condemn the aimless and secret shedding of blood in time of peace.John Boyle O'Reilly / quote ↗
