Quote

High in the heavens I saw the moon this morning, Albeit the sun shone bright Unto my soul it spoke, in voice of warning, Remember Night!

The man who radiates good cheer, who makes life happier wherever he meets it, is always a man of vision and faith.
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.

Image
All the past is not worth one today.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Just a little every day That's the way Children learn to read and write Bit by bit and mite by mite.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Love is the impulse which directs the world, And all things know it and obey its power. Man, in the maelstrom of his passions whirled The bee that takes the pollen to the flower The earth, uplifting her bare, pulsing breast To fervent kisses of the amorous sun-- Each but obeys creative Love's behest, Which everywhere instinctively is done.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Love is the only thing that pays for birth, Or makes death welcome. Oh, dear God above This beautiful but sad, perplexing earth, Pity the hearts that know--or know not--Love!
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.

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
I know there are no errors, In the great Eternal plan.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
There is nothing we cannot live down, and rise above, and overcome.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
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
Image
I will not doubt, though sorrows fall like rain, And troubles swarm like bees about a hive I shall believe the heights for which I strive Are only reached by anguish and by pain And though I groan and tremble with my crosses, I yet shall see, through my severest losses, The greater gain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Ah, lady! it is hardly what you thought it, This life of luxury and social power You gave yourself as principal, and bought it, But God extracts the interest hour by hour.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Give thy love freely, do not count the cost: So beautiful a thing was never lost.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
I like the roar of cities. In the mart, Where busy toilers strive for place and gain, I seem to read humanity's great heart, And share its hopes, its pleasures, and its pain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
Distrust that man who tells you to distrust. He takes the measure of his own small soul, and thinks the world no larger.

Always continue to climb.
