Quote

Give her not greatness. For great souls must stand Alone and lonely in this little world: Cleft rocks that show the great Creator's hand, Thither by earthquakes hurled.

Life is a garden forever in flower.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Let the dream go. Are there not other dreams In vastness of clouds hid from thy sight That yet shall gild with beautiful gold gleams, And shoot the shadows through and through with light? What matters one lost vision of the night? Let the dream go!
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
There is new strength, repose of mind, and inspiration in fresh apparel.

Day's sweetest moments are at dawn.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
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
Image
For every hour of pain I have had a day of pleasure. For every moment of worry, an hour of content.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
But now I know that there is no killing A thing like Love, for it laughs at Death. There is no hushing, there is no stilling That which is part of your life and breath. You may bury it deep, and leave behind you The land, the people that knew your slain It will push the sods from its grave, and find you On wastes of water or desert plain.

Image
We two make banquets of the plainest fare In every cup we find the thrill of pleasure... For us life always moves with lilting measure We two, we two, we make our world, our pleasure
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Dear friend, I pray thee, if thou wouldst be proving Thy strong regard for me, Make me no vows. Lip-service is not loving Let thy faith speak for thee.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Talk faith. The world is better off without, Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Change is the watchword of progression.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
The loves of men but vary in degrees-- They find no new expression for the flame.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
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
Image
Between the finite and the infinite The missing link of Love has left a void. Supply the link, and earth with Heaven will join In one continued chain of endless life.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
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
Image
It has always been my belief that children inherit the suppressed tendencies of their parents. A clergyman's son frequently shows abnormal tastes for the pleasures that his father denied himself.

The spark divine dwells in thee: let it grow.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
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.
