=Fortitude.=

True fortitude is seen in great exploits That justice warrants, and that wisdom guides; All else is tow'ring frenzy and distraction.

749 ADDISON: _Cato,_ Act ii., Sc. 1.

=Fortune.=

Will fortune never come with both hands full, But write her fair words still in foulest letters?

She either gives a stomach, and no food,-- Such as are the poor in health; or else a feast, And takes away the stomach,--such are the rich, That have abundance, and enjoy it not.

=France.=

'Tis better using France, than trusting France; Let us be back'd with God, and with the seas, Which he hath given for fence impregnable, And with their helps only defend ourselves; In them, and in ourselves, our safety lies.

755 SHAKS.: _3 Henry VI.,_ Act iv., Sc. 1.

=Fraternity.=

There are bonds of all sorts in this world of ours, Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers, And true-lovers' knots, I ween; The girl and the boy are bound by a kiss, But there 's never a bond, old friend, like this, We have drunk from the same canteen.

=Freedom.=

We must be free or die, who speak the tongue That Shakespeare spake; the faith and morals hold Which Milton held.

757 WORDSWORTH: _Sonnet. It is not to be thought of, etc._

Oh, FREEDOM! thou art not, as poets dream, A fair young girl, with light and delicate limbs, And wavy tresses gushing from the cap With which the Roman master crowned his slave When he took off the gyves. A bearded man, Armed to the teeth, art thou; one mailed hand Grasps the broad shield, and one the sword; thy brow, Glorious in beauty though it be, is scarred With tokens of old wars.

I count myself in nothing else so happy, As in a soul rememb'ring my good friends.

Oh, be my friend, and teach me to be thine!

765 EMERSON: _Forbearance._

The friendships of the world are oft Confederacies in vice, or leagues of pleasure.

766 ADDISON: _Cato,_ Act iii., Sc. 1.

Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspir'd.

Officious, innocent, sincere, Of every friendless name the friend.
