More quotes by Edwin Markham
I (God) will leave man to make the fateful guess, Will leave him torn between the no and yes, Leave him unresting till he rests in me, Drawn upward by the choice that makes him free, Leave him in tragic loneliness to choose, With all in life to win or all to lose.
Edwin Markham
Choices are the hinges of destiny.
Edwin Markham
Oft when the white, still dawn lifted the skies and pushed the hills apart, I have felt it like a glory in my heart.
Edwin Markham
Defeat may serve as well as victory To shake the soul and let the glory out. When the great oak is straining in the wind, The boughs drink in new beauty and the trunk Sends down a deeper root on the windward side. Only the soul that knows the mighty grief Can know the mighty rapture, Sorrows come To stretch out spaces in the heart for joy.
Edwin Markham
For all your days be prepared, and meet them ever alike. When you are the anvil, bear - when you are the hammer, strike.
Edwin Markham
At the heart of the cyclone tearing the sky is a place of central calm.
Edwin Markham
Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.
Edwin Markham
The thing that is incredible is life itself. Why should we be here in this sun-illuminated universe? Why should there be green earth under our feet?
Edwin Markham
To throw oneself to the side of the oppressed is the only dignified thing to do in life.
Edwin Markham
Only the soul that knows the mighty grief can know the mighty rapture. Sorrows come to stretch out spaces in the heart for joy.
Edwin Markham
He fed his spirit with the bread of books
Edwin Markham
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory let us now commit it to life.
Edwin Markham
Sorrows come to stretch out places in the heart for joy.
Edwin Markham
The future life is where we will go on helping to bring the universe to perfection, which is God's grand ultimate aim. [The purpose of life] is to help God run the universe. Everyone in that better land will be busy all the time, and the environment will be perfect all the time for doing the work which God assigns to all.
Edwin Markham
By a divine paradox, wherever there is one slave there are two. So in the wonderful reciprocities of being, we can never reach the higher levels until all our fellows ascend with us.
Edwin Markham
At the heart of the cyclone tearing the sky And flinging the cloud and the towers by, Is a place of central calm: So here in the roar of mortal things, I have a place where my spirit sings, In the hollow of God's Palm.
Edwin Markham
There is no true liberty for the individual except as he finds it in the liberty of all. There is no true security for the individual except as he finds it in the security for all.
Edwin Markham
The sequoias belong to the silences of the milleniums. Many of them have seen a hundred human generations rise, give off their little clamors and perish. They seem indeed to be forms of immortality standing here amoing the transitory shapes of time.
Edwin Markham
The crest and crowning of all good, life's final star, is Brotherhood.
Edwin Markham
That in the human plan nothing is worth the making if it does not make the man.
