More quotes by Edwin Markham
At the heart of the cyclone tearing the sky is a place of central calm.
Edwin Markham
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 and took him In ! From the poem Outwitted
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
Ah, great it is to believe the dream as we stand in youth by the starry stream But a greater thing is to fight life through, and at the end, 'The dream is true!'
Edwin Markham
To throw oneself to the side of the oppressed is the only dignified thing to do in life.
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
The crest and crowning of all good, life's final star, is Brotherhood.
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
There is a destiny which makes us brothers none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.
Edwin Markham
The thing that is incredible is life itself.
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
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
I fear the vermin that shall undermineSenate and citadel and school and shrine.
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
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
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
Choices are the hinges of destiny.
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
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory let us now commit it to life.
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
