7357 James Russell Lowell 1819-1891 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7357
AUTHOR:James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
QUOTATION:The wisest man could ask no more of Fate
Than to be simple, modest, manly, true,
Safe from the Many—honored by the Few;
To count as naught in World or Church or State;
But inwardly in secret to be great.
ATTRIBUTION:Sonnet. Jeffries Wyman.
