    Leave your theory, as Joseph his coat in the hand of the harlot, and flee.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    All pathways by His feet are worn,
    His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea;
    His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn;
    His cross is every tree.
    —Joseph Mary Plunkett (1887–1916)
