The budding rose above the rose full blown. - [Roses] The charities that soothe and heal and bless, lie scattered at the feet of men like flowers. - [Charity] The common growth of Mother Earth Suffices me--her tears, her mirth, Her humblest mirth and tears. - [Earth] The education of circumstances is superior to that of tuition. - [Circumstance] The fear that kills, and hope that is unwilling to be fed. - [Despair] The gods approve the depth, and not the tumult of the soul. - [Soul] The good die first; and they whose hearts are dry as summer dust burn to the socket. - [Death] The good old rule Sufficeth them, the simple plan, That they should take who have the power, And they should keep who can. - [Power] The stars are mansions built by nature's hand, And, haply, there the spirits of the blest, Dwell, clothed in radiance, their immortal rest. - [Stars] The still, sad music of humanity. - [Humanity] The wind, a sightless laborer, whistles at his task. - [Wind] These feeble and fastidious times. - [Present] These hoards of wealth you can unlock at will. - [Books] These two things, contradictory as they may seem, must go together,--manly dependence and manly independence, manly reliance and manly self-reliance. - [Character] Those eyes, soft and capricious as a cloudless sky, whose azure depth their color emulates, must needs be conversant with upward looks--prayer's voiceless service. - [Eyes] Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory. - [Action] Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. - [Thought] To be young was very heaven! - [Youth] To check the erring and reprove; Thou who art victory and law, When empty terrors overawe, Give unto me, made lowly wise, The spirit of self-sacrifice. - [Duty] Truth takes no account of centuries. - [Truth] We sail the sea of life; a calm one finds, And one a tempest; and, the voyage o'er, Death is the quiet haven of us all. - [Life] What are fears but voices airy? Whispering harm where harm is not, And deluding the unwary Till the fatal bolt is shot! - [Fear] What is pride? a whizzing rocket That would emulate a star. - [Pride] Where rivulets dance their wayward round, and beauty born of murmuring sound shall pass into her face. - [Beauty] Who swerves from innocence, who makes divorce Of that serene companion--a good name. Recovers not his loss; but walks with shame, With doubt, with fear, and haply with remorse. - [Names] Displaying page 3 of 14 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
