Be careful of the _or_ in _professor_.

A professor in a certain college liked to confuse the students by asking
unexpected questions. One very cold night he asked a bright student how
many stars are in the sky.
“Wait, professor, and I will tell you,” replied the student, and
commenced to count very slowly. When he had reached two hundred, the
professor, who was half frozen, exclaimed hoarsely, “That will do! I
admit that you are a wonderful student. Your method is slow and the
results will doubtless be accurate, but I will detain you no longer.”

To stand by one’s friend to the uttermost end,
And fight a fair fight with one’s foes;
Never to quit and never to twit
And never to peddle one’s woes.
—GEORGE B. CHANDLER.

“I Can” is a worker; he tills the broad fields,
And digs from the earth all the wealth that it yields;
The hum of his spindles begins with the light,
And the fires of his forges are blazing all night.
—W. A. BUTLER.
