It is not the mere station of life that stamps the value on us, but the manner in which we act our part. - [Station] It is only through the morning gate of the beautiful that you can penetrate into the realm of knowledge. That which we feel here as beauty we shall one day know as truth. - [Beauty] Joy is the mainspring in the whole Of endless Nature's calm rotation. Joy moves the dazzling wheels that roll In the great Time-piece of Creation. - [Joy] Keep true to the dreams of thy youth. - [Youth] Let him that sows the serpent's teeth not hope to reap a joyous harvest. Every crime has, in the moment of its perpetration, its own avenging angel,--dark misgivings at the inmost heart. - [Sin] Let no man measure by a scale of perfection the meager product of reality in this poor world of ours. - [Perfection] Let us not despair too soon, my friend.

All beings live from light; each fair created thing, the very plants, turn with a joyful transport to the light. - [Eyes] Obedience is the Christian's crown. - [Obedience] Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives. - [Fame] Oh, pearl of all things, woman! Adored be the artist who created thee! - [Women] Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful. - [Peace] Revenge is barren of itself; itself is the dreadful food it feeds on; its delight is murder, and its saiety, despair. - [Revenge] Rigor pushed too far is sure to miss its aim, however good, as the bow snaps that is bent too stiffly. - [Rigor] Secrecy is for the happy,--misery, hopeless misery, needs no veil; under a thousand suns it dares act openly. - [Secrecy] Displaying page 3 of 10 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
