    “I have led her home, my love, my only friend.
    There is none like her, none.
    And never yet so warmly ran my blood
    And sweetly, on and on
    Calming itself to the long-wished-for end,
    Full to the banks, close on the promised good.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    He held, in spite of all his learning,
    That if a man’s belief is bad,
    It will not be improved by burning.”
    —Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)

    “I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can’t say—I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”
