Our lives are songs God write the words And we set them to music at pleasure And the song grows glad, or sweet or sad, As we choose to fashion the measure.

More quotes by 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
There are ghosts in the room. As I sit here alone, from the dark corners there They come out of the gloom, And they stand at my side and they lean on my chair.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Always continue to climb.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
There is nothing ridiculous in love.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
And however dark the skies may appear, And however souls may blunder, I tell you it all will work out clear, For good lies over and under.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
I hold it true that thoughts are things Endowed with bodies, breath, and wings, And that we send them forth to fill The world with good results--or ill.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Whatever is... is best.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
A day which passed without a poem from my pen I considered lost and misused.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Say you are well, or all is well with you, and God shall hear your words and make them true.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
All the past is not worth one today.
