In this life he laughs longest who laughs last. - John Masefield
I have seen flowers come in stony places And kind things done by men with ugly faces And the gold cup won by the worst horse at the races, So I trust too. - John Masefield

I have seen flowers come in stony placesAnd kind things done by men with ugly faces,And the gold cup won by the worst horse at the races,So I trust, too. - John Masefield
Only the road and the dawn, the sun, the wind, and the rain,And the watch fire under stars, and sleep, and the road again. - John Masefield
