More quotes by Bayard Taylor
Peace the offspring is of Power.
Bayard Taylor
Could one live on the sense of beauty alone, exempt from the necessity of 'creature comforts,' a sea-voyage would be delightful.
Bayard Taylor
I cannot assume emotions I do not feel, and must describe Jerusalem as I found it. Since being here, I have read the accounts of several travellers, and in many cases the devotional rhapsodies - the ecstacies of awe and reverence - in which they indulge, strike me as forced and affected.
Bayard Taylor
Departed suns their trails of splendor drew Across departed summers: whispers came From voices, long ago resolved again Into the primeval Silence, and we twain, Ghosts of our present selves, yet still the same, As in a spectral mirror wandered there.
Bayard Taylor
He teaches best, Who feels the hearts of all men in his breast, And knows their strength or weakness through his own.
Bayard Taylor
Labor, you know, is prayer.
Bayard Taylor
Love's humility is love's true pride.
Bayard Taylor
Really,' thought I, 'we call Baltimore the 'Monumental City' for its two marble columns, and here is Edinburg with one at every street-corner!
Bayard Taylor
I was pleasantly disappointed on entering Bohemia. Instead of a dull, uninteresting country, as I expected, it is a land full of the most lovely scenery. There is every thing which can gratify the eye - high blue mountains, valleys of the sweetest pastoral look and romantic old ruins.
Bayard Taylor
The clouds are scudding across the moon, A misty light is on the sea The wind in the shrouds has a wintry tune, And the foam is flying free.
Bayard Taylor
An enthusiastic desire of visiting the Old World haunted me from early childhood. I cherished a presentiment, amounting almost to belief, that I should one day behold the scenes, among which my fancy had so long wandered.
Bayard Taylor
Alone each heart must cover up its dead Alone, through bitter toil, achieve its rest.
Bayard Taylor
The healing of the world is in its nameless saints. Each separate star seems nothing, but a myriad scattered stars break up the night and make it beautiful.
Bayard Taylor
Eccentricity is developed monomania.
Bayard Taylor
Love is better than Fame.
Bayard Taylor
There may come a day Which crowns Desire with gift, and Art with truth, And Love with bliss, and Life with wiser youth!
Bayard Taylor
By wisdom wealth is won but riches purchased wisdom yet for none.
Bayard Taylor
Those who would attain to any marked degree of excellence in a chosen pursuit must work, and work hard for it, prince or peasant.
Bayard Taylor
And the wind that saddens, the sea that gladdens, Are singing the selfsame strain.
Bayard Taylor
Life lives only in success.
