Archibald Rutledge

Poet Laureate

"It takes solitude, under the stars, for us to be reminded of our eternal origin and our far destiny."

"You should remember that though another may have more money, beauty, and brains than you, when it comes to the rarer spiritual values such as charity, self-sacrifice, honor and nobility of heart, you have an equal chance with everyone to be the most beloved and honored of all people."
