More quotes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Trust in thine own untried capacity As thou wouldst trust in God himself. Thy soul Is but an emanation from the whole. Thou dost not dream what forces lie in thee, Vast and unfathomed as the grandest sea.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
God sent us here to make mistakes
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Life is a garden forever in flower.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
I knew it the first of the summer, I knew it the same at the end, That you and your love were plighted, But couldn't you be my friend?
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Love lights more fire than hate extinguishes.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Keep out of the past. It is haunted.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
There is no balking genius. Only death can silence it or hinder.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
How will it be when one of us alone Goes on that strange last journey of the soul? That certain search for an uncertain goal, That voyage on which no comradeship is known?
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Talk faith. The world is better off without, Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Talk health. The dreary, never-changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale. You cannot charm, or interest, or please By harping in that minor chord, disease. Say you are well, or all is well with you, And God shall hear your words and make them true.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Laugh, and the world laughs with you: Weep, and you weep alone. For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Love is the crown that glorifies the curse That brands and burdens it is life and death. It is the great law of the universe And nothing can exist without its breath.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Do you wish the world were happy? Then remember day by day, just to scatter seeds of kindness as you pass along the way. . . .
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Distrust that man who tells you to distrust.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
We waste half our strength in a useless regretting We sit by old tombs in the dark too long.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
This dream of our youth will fade out as the splendor Fades from the skies when the sun sinks to sleep.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
I detect more good than evil in humanity. Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, And men grow better as the world grows old.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
No question is ever settled until it is settled right.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Time sped. And the poet through sorrow Became like his suffering kind. Again he toiled over his poems To lighten the grief of his mind.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
