( 343 ) 
F'aith. 
Have Faith! where’er thy bark is driven. 
The calm’s disport, the tempest’s mirth— 
Know this, God rules the host of Heaven, 
The inhabitants of Earth! 
— F. Schiller. 
The faith that works by love, 
And purifies the heart, 
A foretaste of the joys above 
To mortals can impart; 
It bears us through this earthly strife 
And triumphs in immortal life. 
—Anon. 
FAME. 
The heights by great men reached and kept 
Were not attained by sudden flight; 
But they, while their companions slept, 
Were toiling upward in the night. 
— Longfellow. 
FEAR. 
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength. 
Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe. 
— Shakespeare. 
FLATTERY. 
’Tis an old maxim in the schools, 
That flattery’s the food of fools; 
Yet now and then you men of wit 
Will condescend to take a bit. 
— Swift. 
FORGIVENESS. 
Live well; how long or short, press on to Heaven; 
They who forgive most, shall be most forgiven. 
-— Anon.
