Hoping is the finest sort of courage and you can never have enough of it.

HOME.
We leave Our home in youth--no matter to what end-- Study--or strife--or pleasure, or what not; And coming back in few short years, we find All as we left it outside: the old elms, The house, the gra.s.s, gates, and latchet's self-same click: But, lift that latchet,-- Alas! all is changed as doom.
--_Bailey: Festus._
933
CHILDREN IN THE HOUSE.
Lady, the sun's light to our eyes is dear, And fair the tranquil reaches of the sea, And flowery earth in May, and bounding waters; And so right many fair things I might praise; Yet nothing is so radiant and so fair As for souls childless, with desire sore-smitten, To see the light of babes about the house.
--_Euripides._
934
Often, old houses mended, Cost more than new, before they're ended.
--_Colley Cibber._

Though we should be grateful for good homes, there is no house like G.o.d's out-of-doors.
