Edwin Markham Quotes

He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic , rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:

From the poem " Outwitted

Fight ever on: this earthly stuff
If used God’s way will be enough.

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.

He fed his spirit with the bread of books
