And he who has dwelt with his heart alone, Hears all the music in friendship's tone. So better and better I comprehend How sorrow ever would be our friend.

More quotes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Time is the best avenger.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Content is not the pathway to great deeds.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Sweep up the debris of decaying faith Sweep down the cobwebs of worn-out out beliefs, And throw your soul wide open to the light of reason and of knowledge. Be not afraid To thrust aside half-truths and grasp the whole.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The sin and the shame and the sorrow, The crime and the want and the woe That are born there in your workshop, No hand can paint, you know.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Love lights more fire than hate extinguishes.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
A poor original is better than a good imitation.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Always continue to climb.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Hell is wherever Love is not, and Heaven Is Love's location. No dogmatic creed, No austere faith based on ignoble fear Can lead thee into realms of joy and peace. Unless the humblest creatures on the earth Are bettered by thy loving sympathy Think not to find a Paradise beyond.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Keep out of the past. It is haunted.
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
It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
I Love your lips when they're wet with wine and red with wicked desire.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
When the heart grows weary, all things seem dreary When the burden grows heavy, the way seems long. Thank God for sending kind death as an ending, Like a grand Amen to a minor song.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
It stands in the light transfigured, It speaks from the heights above, Each Soul Is Its Own Redeemer There Is No Law But Love.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Hide in your heart a bitter thought, Still it has power to blight Think Love, although you speak it not It gives the world more light.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
A day which passed without a poem from my pen I considered lost and misused.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Who climbs the mountain does not always climb.The winding road slants downward many a timeYet each descent is higher than the last.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
