He drew a circle that shut me out.....
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win;
We drew a circle that took him in.
~~~Edwin Markham
The Bible is the book of all others to be read at all ages and in all conditions of human life......I speak as a man of the world to men of the world, and I say to you, "Search the Scriptures."
~~~~John Quincy Adams
Goodness and love mould the form into their own image, and cause the joy and beauty of love to shine forth from every part of the face. When this form of love is seen, it appears ineffably beautiful, and affects with delight the inmost life of the soul.
~~E. Swedenborg
O Thou, whose bounty fills my cup
With every blessing meet!
I give Thee thanks for every drop.....
The bitter and the sweet.
I praise Thee for the desert road,
And for the riverside;
For all Thy goodness hath bestowed,
And all Thy grace denied.
~~Jane Crewdson
There is a wealth of unexpressed love in the world.
It is one of the chief causes of sorrow evoked by death; what might have been said or might have been done that never can be said or done.
~~Arthur Hopkins
If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.
~~~George Macdonald
Our deeds are seeds of fate, sown here on earth, but bringing forth their harvest in eternity.
~~~Boardman
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart; I breathe at this hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets, and the roses, as at twenty years ago. The nearer I approach to the end, the plainer I hear around me the immortal symphonies of the worlds which invite me.
~~~Victor Hugo
They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love, desire, and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path merges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
~~~Ernest Dowson
