It 's Wiser Being Good Than Bad; It 's Safer Being Meek Than Fierce

It 's wiser being good than bad;
It 's safer being meek than fierce;
It 's fitter being sane than mad.
My own hope is, a sun will pierce
The thickest cloud earth ever stretched;
That after Last returns the First,
Though a wide compass round be fetched;
That what began best can't end worst,
Nor what God blessed once prove accurst.
-- Robert Browning (1812-1890)
-- Apparent Failure, vii
