A poor man serv'd by thee, shall make thee rich. - [Benevolence : Charity] A woman's always younger than a man of equal years. - [Age] All are not taken! there are left behind Living Beloveds, tender looks to bring, And make the daylight still a happy thing, And tender voices, to make soft the wind. - [Conspiracy] Books are men of higher stature, and the only men that speak aloud for future times to hear. - [Books] Cloud-walls of the morning's gray Faced with amber column, Crowned with crimson cupola From a sunset solemn. May-mists, for the casements, fetch, Pale and glimmering, With a sunbeam hid in each, And a smell of spring. - [Clouds] Death upon his face Is rather shine than shade, A tender shine by looks beloved made. - [Death] Every wish is like a prayer to God. - [Wishes] Eyes which the preacher could not school, By wayside graves are raised; And lips say, "God be pitiful," That ne'er said "God be praised." - [Atheism] Folded eyes see brighter colors than the open ever do. - [Eyes] Get work. Be sure it is better than what you work to get. - [Work] He said true things, but called them by wrong names. - [Truth] Her deep blue eyes smile constantly, as if they had by fitness won the secret of a happy dream she does not care to speak. - [Eyes] If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love's sake only. - [Love] In our age faith and charity are found, but they are found apart. We tolerate everybody, because we doubt everything; or else we tolerate nobody, because we believe something. - [Faith] Large, musing eyes, neither joyous nor sorry. - [Eyes] Men get opinions as boys learn to spell, by reiteration chiefly. - [Opinion] My heart is very tired--my strength is low-- My hands are full of blossoms pluck'd before Held dead within them till myself shall die. - [Despondency] Named softly as the household name of one whom God had taken. - [Names] O Death, O Beyond, Thou art sweet, thou art strange! - [Future] O Earth, so full of dreary noises! O men, with wailing in your voices! O delved gold, the wader's heap! O strife, O curse, that o'er it fall! God makes a silence through you all, And "giveth His beloved, sleep." - [Death] The beautiful seems right By force of beauty, and the feeble wrong Because of weakness. - [Beauty] The plague of gold strikes far and near. - [Gold] Thy love shall chant itself its own beatitudes, after its own life working. A child-kiss, set on thy sighing lips, shall make thee glad; a poor man, served, by thee, shall make thee rich; a rich man, helped by thee, shall make thee strong; thou shalt be served thyself by every sense of service which thou renderest. - [Benevolence] When the dust of death has choked a great man's voice, the common words he said turn oracles, the common thoughts he yoked like horses draw like griffins. - [Death] Where Christ brings His cross He brings His presence; and where He is none are desolate, and there is no room for despair. - [Despair] Displaying page 1 of 6 for this author: Next >> [1] 2 3 4 5 6
