Angels are knocking at thy door!
They are in haste and cannot wait,
And once departed come no more.

Produces only weeds at best.”

“Master of human destinies am I.
Fame, love, and fortune on my footsteps wait,
Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and, passing by
Hovel, and mart, and palace, soon or late
I knock unbidden, once at every gate!
If sleeping, wake -- if feasting, rise before
I turn away. It is the hour of fate,
And they who follow me reach every state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save death; but to those who doubt or hesitate,
Condemned to failure, penury, and woe,
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore--
I answer not; and I return no more.”
― John James Ingalls, A Collection of the Writings of John James Ingalls; Essays, Addresses, and Orations
