More From John Donne

Industry need not wish, and he that lives upon hopes will die fasting. there are no gains without pains. he that hath a trade hath an estate, and he that hath a calling hath an office of profit and honor; but then the trade must be worked at and the calling followed, or neither the estate nor the office will enable us to pay our taxes. if we are industrious, we shall never starve; for at the workingman's house hunger looks in, but dares not enter. nor will the bailiff or the constable enter, for industry pays debts, while idleness and neglect increase them.
Life Pain Office
He that hath a trade hath an estate; and he that hath a calling hath a place of profit and honor. a ploughman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.
Honor Gentleman Knees
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, this is my own, my native land! whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd, as home his footsteps he hath turn'd from wandering on a foreign strand! if such there breathe, go mark him well; for him no minstrel raptures swell; high though his titles, proud his name, boundless his wealth as wish can claim; despite those titles, power, and pelf, the wretch, concentred all in self, living, shall forfeit fair renown, and, doubly dying, shall go down to the vile dust, from whence he sprung, unwept, unhonor'd, and unsung.
Home Heart Men
I made the rules i figured i could be the one to break them. i thought i would write about xenophobia, a hatred of foreigners. after i stated writing the story there was not a foreigner to be had. i did not want to just stick one in there so i could get a title out of it since it seemed like cheating. i never figured out how i could get out of this dilemma so i just called it x and weaved x traits into the story.
Cheating Xenophobia Writing
That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold; what hath quenched them hath given me fire.
Fire Drunk Lady Macbeth
Hee that is throwne would ever wrestle.
