"[Poem about failures, mistakes and difficulties helping us to grow in knowledge, skills and attitudes. The poem is called 'Victory in Defeat':]
Defeat may serve as well as victory,
To shake the soul and let the glory out.
When the great oak is straining in the wind,
The boughs drink in new beauty, and the trunk,
Sends down a deeper root on the windward side.
Only the soul that knows the mighty grief,
Can know the mighty rapture. Sorrows come,
to stretch out spaces in the heart for joy.

As we stand in youth by the starry stream;

And say at the end, the dream is true!

"[Poem:]
Fight ever on: this earthly stuff,
If used God's way will be enough.
Face to the firing line, o friend,
Fight out life's battle to the end.
One soldier, when the fight was red,
Threw down his broken sword and fled.
Another snatched it, won the day,
With what his comrade flung away.

"[Poem:]
We are all blind until we see,
That in the human plan,
Nothing is worth the making if,
It does not make the man.
Why build these cities glorious,
If man unbuilded goes?
In vain we build the world, unless,
The builder also grows.

"[Poem: about the strange theory of reciprocity - 'What you give, you get!' and the equally strange theory of expectation as perception - 'What you look for, you see!']
'The Right Kind of People'
Gone is the city, gone the day,
Yet still the story and the meaning stay:
Once where a prophet in the palm shade basked
A traveler chanced at noon to rest his mules.
‘What sort of people may they be,’ he asked,
‘In this proud city on the plains o’erspread?’
‘Well, friend, what sort of people whence you came?’
‘What sort?’ the packman scowled; ‘why, knaves and fools.’
‘You’ll find the people here the same,’ the wise man said.
Another stranger in the dusk drew near,
And pausing, cried, ‘What sort of people here
In your bright city where yon towers arise?’
‘Well, friend, what sort of people whence you came?’
‘What sort?’ the pilgrim smiled with lifted head;
‘Good, true, and wise.’
‘You’ll find the people here the same,’
The wise man said.

"[Poem: 'The Escape' ]
I am tired of the battling city and her devastating roar,
With the never-ending pound of her feet, like billows on a shore.
So I will escape to the freedom of fields and the pageant of marching peaks -
Out to the canyon coolness where the secret silence speaks.
" - Edwin Markham
Poet. Quoted from the poem 'The Escape'.

"[Poem: 'Joy of the Hills' ]
I ride on the hills, I forgive, I forget,
Life's hoard of regret -
All the terror and pain,
Of the chafing chain.
Grind on, O cities, grind:
I leave you a blur behind.
I am lifted elate - the skies expand:
Here the world's heaped gold is a pile of sand.
Let them weary and work in their narrow walls:
I ride with the voices of waterfalls!

Poet. Quote of his poem 'Joy of the Hills'.

"[Poem: 'Memory of Good Deeds' ]
The memory of good deeds will ever stay,
A lamp to light us on the darkened way,
A music to the ear on the clamoring street,
A cooling well amid the noonday heat,
A scent of green boughs blown through narrow walls,
A feel of rest when quiet evening falls.
