More quotes by Mary C. Ames
To serve thy generation, this thy fate: Written in water, swiftly fades thy name But he who loves his kind does, first and late, A work too late for fame.
Mary C. Ames
A shining isle in a stormy sea, We seek it ever with smiles and sighs To-day is sad. In the bland To-be, Serene and lovely To-morrow lies.
Mary C. Ames
The deepest insult which can be shown to a human being is to associate it solely with material functions, with no cognizance and no consideration of its intellectual and spiritual power.
