More quotes by Philip James Bailey
As the master so the valet.
Philip James Bailey
The poet's pen is the true divining rod Which trembles towards the inner founts of feeling Bringing to light and use, else hid from all, The many sweet clear sources which we have of good and beauty in our own deep bosoms And marks the variations of all mind As does the needle.
Philip James Bailey
Where doubt there truth is - 'tis her shadow.
Philip James Bailey
True faith nor biddeth nor abideth form, The bended knee, the eye uplift is all Which men need render all which God can bear. What to the faith are forms? A passing speck, A crow upon the sky.
Philip James Bailey

Philip James Bailey
Look on the bee upon the wing 'mong flowers How brave, how bright his life! then mark, him hiv'd, Cramp'd, cringing in his self-built, social cell, Thus it is in the world-hive most where men Lie deep in cities as in drifts.
Philip James Bailey
Let us think less of men and more of God.
Philip James Bailey
Evil then results from imperfection.
Philip James Bailey
Youth might be wise we suffer less from pains than pleasures.
Philip James Bailey
Grief hallows hearts, even while it ages heads.
Philip James Bailey
All are of the race of God, and have in themselves good.
Philip James Bailey
