John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman. (1860–1935)

    A million million worlds that move in peace;
A million mighty laws that never cease;
And one small ant-heap, hidden by small weeds,
Rich with eggs, slaves and store of millet-seeds.
    They sleep beneath the sod
    And trust in God.

A common Inference.

    Said I, in scorn all burning hot,
    In rage and anger high,
“You ignominious idiot,
    Those wings are made to fly!”

A Conservative.

“I do not want to be a fly,
I want to be a worm!”

A Conservative.
