More From Jack Kerouac

God is alpha and omega in the great world: endeavor to make him so in the little world; make him thy evening epilogue and thy morning prologue; practice to make him thy last thought at night when thou sleepest, and thy first thought in the morning when thou awakest; so shall thy fancy be sanctified in the night, and thy understanding rectified in the day; so shall thy rest be peaceful, thy labors prosperous, thy life pious, and thy death glorious.
God Morning Night
If thy faith have no doubts, thou has just cause to doubt thy faith; and if thy doubts have no hope, thou hast just reason to fear despair; when therefore thy doubts shall exercise thy faith, keep thy hopes firm to qualify thy doubts; so shall thy faith be secured from doubts; so shall thy doubts be preserved from despair.
Faith Exercise Doubt
If with love thy heart has burned; if thy love is unreturned; hide thy grief within thy breast, though it tear thee unexpressed; for when love has once departed from the eyes of the false-hearted, and one by one has torn off quite the bandages of purple light; though thou wert the loveliest form the soul had ever dressed, thou shalt seem, in each reply, a vixen to his altered eye; thy softest pleadings seem too bold, thy praying lute will seem to scold; though thou kept the straightest road, yet thou errest far and broad.
Love Grief Heart
At last i took one big, callused hand and slid forward so i knelt on the boards between his knees. i laid my head against his chest, and felt his breath stir my hair. i had no words, but i had made my choice. "'whither thou goest,'" i said. "'i will go; and where thou lodgest, i will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy god my god: where thou diest, will i die, and there will i be buried.' be it scottish hill or southern forest. you do what you have to; i'll be there.
Hair Hands People
Make me what thou wouldst have me. i bargain for nothing. i make no terms. i seek for no previous information whither thou art taking me. i will be what thou wilt make me, and all that thou wilt make me. i say not, i will follow thee whithersoever thou goest, for i am weak, but i give myself to thee, to lead me anywhither.
Art Giving Information
If thy desire to raise thy fortunes encourage thy delights to the casts of fortune, be wise betimes, lest thou repent too late; what thou gettest, thou gainest by abused providence; what thou losest, thou losest by abused patience; what thou winnest is prodigally spent; what thou losest is prodigally lost; it is an evil trade that prodigally drives; and a bad voyage where the pilot is blind.

Wise Wisdom Men
He, who boldly interposes between a merciless censor and his prey, is a man of vigor: and he who, mildly wise, without wounding, convinces him of his error, commands our veneration.
