Old-Fashioned Philosophy

By J. A. Edgerton

SCORN not the homely virtues. We are prone To search through all the world for something new: And yet sometimes old-fashioned things are best,— Old-fashioned work, old-fashioned rectitude, Old-fashioned honor, and old-fashioned prayer, Old-fashioned patience that can bide its time, Old-fashioned firesides sacred from the world, Old-fashioned satisfaction with enough, Old-fashioned candor and simplicity, Old-fashioned folk that practise what they preach. — J. A. Edgerton.
