Ella Wheeler Wilcox Quotes

Feast, and your halls are crowded Fast, and the world goes by Succeed and give, and it helps you live But no man can help you die Picture Quote #1

The birds laugh loud and long together When Fashion’s followers speed away At the first cool breath of autumn weather. Why, this is the time, cry the birds, to stay! When the deep calm sea and the deep sky over Both look their passion through sun-kissed space, As a blue-eyed maid and her blue-eyed lover Might each gaze into the other’s face Picture Quote #1

Talk faith. The world is better off without, Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt Picture Quote #1

Talk health. The dreary, never-changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale. You cannot charm, or interest, or please By harping in that minor chord, disease. Say you are well, or all is well with you, And God shall hear your words and make them true Picture Quote #1

Life is a Shylock; always it demands The fullest userer’s interest for each pleasure. Gifts are not freely scattered by its hands; We make returns for every borrowed treasure Picture Quote #1

Oh! I know this truth, if I know no other, That passionate Love is Pain’s own mother Picture Quote #1

Love is the impulse which directs the world, And all things know it and obey its power. Man, in the maelstrom of his passions whirled; The bee that takes the pollen to the flower; The earth, uplifting her bare, pulsing breast To fervent kisses of the amorous sun;-- Each but obeys creative Love’s behest, Which everywhere instinctively is done Picture Quote #1

It stands in the light transfigured, It speaks from the heights above, Each Soul Is Its Own Redeemer; There Is No Law But Love Picture Quote #1

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;Weep, and you weep alone;For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,But has trouble enough of its own Picture Quote #1

And he who has dwelt with his heart alone, Hears all the music in friendship’s tone. So better and better I comprehend How sorrow ever would be our friend Picture Quote #1

Hide in your heart a bitter thought, Still it has power to blight; Think Love, although you speak it not It gives the world more light Picture Quote #1

It has ever been since time began, and ever will be, till time lose breath, that love is a mood - no more - to man, and love to a woman is life or death Picture Quote #1

High in the heavens I saw the moon this morning, Albeit the sun shone bright; Unto my soul it spoke, in voice of warning, Remember Night! Picture Quote #1

And however dark the skies may appear, And however souls may blunder, I tell you it all will work out clear, For good lies over and under Picture Quote #1

Even so We find the sea of sorrow. Black as night The sullen surface meets our frightened gaze, As down we sink to darkness and despair Picture Quote #1

Do you wish the world were happy? Then remember day by day, just to scatter seeds of kindness as you pass along the way. . . Picture Quote #1

Dear friend, I pray thee, if thou wouldst be proving Thy strong regard for me, Make me no vows. Lip-service is not loving; Let thy faith speak for thee Picture Quote #1

I think I never passed so sad an hour, Dear friend, as that one at the church to-night. The edifice from basement to the tower Was one resplendent blaze of coloured light Picture Quote #1

Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song; But the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong Picture Quote #1

I knew it the first of the summer, I knew it the same at the end, That you and your love were plighted, But couldn’t you be my friend? Picture Quote #1

How happy they are, in all seeming, How gay, or how smilingly proud, How brightly their faces are beaming, These people who make up the crowd! Picture Quote #1

Tis the set of the sail that decides the goal, and not the storm of life Picture Quote #1

In time the earth will be inhabited by almost god-like beings who shall analyze and discuss the remnants of humanity as we now discuss the chimpanzee Picture Quote #1

Give her not greatness. For great souls must stand Alone and lonely in this little world: Cleft rocks that show the great Creator’s hand, Thither by earthquakes hurled Picture Quote #1

Time sped. And the poet through sorrow Became like his suffering kind. Again he toiled over his poems To lighten the grief of his mind Picture Quote #1

Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, and men grow better as the world grows old Picture Quote #1

We ought to make the moments notes Of happy glad Thanksgiving; The hours and days, a silent praise Of music we are living Picture Quote #1

While forced to dwell apart from thy dear face, Love, robed like sorrow, led me by the hand And taught my doubting heart to understand That which has puzzled all the human race Picture Quote #1

Better to wait and yearn, and still to wait, And die at last with unappeased desire, Than live to be the jest of such a fate, For that is my conception of hell-fire Picture Quote #1

'Tis easy enough to be pleasant, when life flows along like a song; But the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong Picture Quote #1
