November 5, 1850 - October 30, 1919
Earth is the anteroom of Heaven, if we choose to see it so.
With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day!
The splendid discontent of God With chaos made the world. And from the discontent of man The worlds best progress springs.
When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view.
Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.
For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
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.
Give us that grand word 'woman' once again, and let's have done with 'lady'; one's a term full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; and one's a word for lackeys.
You may choose your words like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart.
Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, and men grow better as the world grows old.
The man who radiates good cheer, who makes life happier wherever he meets it, is always a man of vision and faith.
A pat on the back is only a few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, but is miles ahead in results.
So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs.
One ship drives east and other drives west by the same winds that blow. It's the set of the sails and not the gales that determines the way they go.
The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.
To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men.
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.
Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.
No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate, obstacles but hurdles to try his skill, troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity.
'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.
The spark divine dwells in thee: let it grow.
With every deed you are sowing a seed, though the harvest you may not see.
A weed is but an unloved flower.
All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
