More quotes by Philip James Bailey
Kindness is wisdom. There is none in life But needs it and may learn.
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
Evil is limited. One cannot form A scheme for universal evil.
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
Necessity, like electricity, is in ourselves and all things, and no more without us than within us.
Philip James Bailey
The truth is perilous never to the true, Nor knowledge to the wise and to the fool, And to the false, error and truth alike, Error is worse than ignorance.
Philip James Bailey
Poetry is itself a thing of God He made his prophets poets and the more We feel of poesie do we become Like God in love and power,-under-makers.
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
Youth might be wise we suffer less from pains than pleasures.
Philip James Bailey
Let each man think himself an act of God, His mind a thought, his life a breath of God And let each try, by great thoughts and good deeds, To show the most of Heaven he hath in him.
Philip James Bailey
The goodness of the heart is shown in deeds Of peacefulness and kindness. Hand and heart Are one thing with the good, as thou should'st be. Do my words trouble thee? then treasure them, Pain overgot gives peace, as death doth Heaven. All things that speak of Heaven speak of peace.
Philip James Bailey
The sole equality on earth is death.
Philip James Bailey
Walk boldly and wisely.... There is a hand above that will help you on.
Philip James Bailey
Write to the mind and heart, and let the ear Glean after what it can.
Philip James Bailey
My favoured temple is an humble heart.
Philip James Bailey
The worst men often give the best advice. Our deeds are sometimes better than our thoughts.
Philip James Bailey
Remember that thy heart will shed its pleasures as thine eye its tears, and both leave loathsome furrows.
Philip James Bailey
I cannot love as I have loved, And yet I know not why It is the one great woe of life To feel all feeling die.
Philip James Bailey
Night comes, world-jewelled, . . . The stars rush forth in myriads as to wage War with the lines of Darkness and the moon, Pale ghost of Night, comes haunting the cold earth After the sun's red sea-death--quietless.
Philip James Bailey
Man is one and he hath one great heart. It is thus we feel, with a gigantic throb athwart the sea, each other's rights and wrongs thus are we men.
