Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?

I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.

If you get simple beauty and naught else, you get about the best thing God invents.

A minute's success pays the failure of years.

Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure.

Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.

Love is energy of life.

Take away love and our earth is a tomb.

Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top.

I count life just a stuff to try the soul's strength on.

The sea heaves up, hangs loaded o'er the land, Breaks there, and buries its tumultuous strength.

So, fall asleep love, loved by me... for I know love, I am loved by thee.

Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.

God is the perfect poet.

Fail I alone, in words and deeds? Why, all men strive and who succeeds?

Love, hope, fear, faith - these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character.
