Nobility
The photos on this page were taken in Wisconsin, in the Great Lakes Region of the U.S.  Known as
"America's Dairyland," the state leads the nation in cheese production and is second in milk and butter
production.  Wisconsin, also, ranks first in production of cranberries, supplying more than half of the
nation's cranberry crop.  The scenic beauty of the Wisconsin Dells, the resorts of Door County
and the state's large number of lakes and rivers make it a popular tourist destination.
Nobility

True worth is in being, not seeming...in doing, each day that goes by,
Some little good...not in dreaming of great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in their blindness, and in spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so noble as kindness, and nothing so kingly as truth.
We cannot make bargains for blisses, or catch them like fishes in nets -
And sometimes the thing that life misses helps more than the thing which it gets.
For good lieth not in pursuing, not in gaining of great or of small,
But just in the doing and doing - as we would be done by, is all.
Through envy, through malice, through hating, against the world early and late,
No jot of our courage abating - our part is to work and to wait.
And slight is the sting of his trouble whose winnings seem less than his worth;
For he who is kind is noble, whatever his fortunes or birth.
