More quotes by Philip James Bailey
Music tells no truths.
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
We live in deeds, not years in thoughts, not breaths In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
Philip James Bailey
The heart is its own Fate.
Philip James Bailey
Where doubt there truth is - 'tis her shadow.
Philip James Bailey
None but God can fill the perfect whole.
Philip James Bailey
The worst men often give the best advice. Our deeds are sometimes better than our thoughts.
Philip James Bailey

Philip James Bailey
Naught but God Can satisfy the soul.
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
A poet not in love is out at sea He must have a lay-figure.
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
Stars which stand as thick as dewdrops on the field of heaven.
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
I have a heart with room for every joy .
Philip James Bailey
It matters not how long we live but how.
Philip James Bailey
Leave the poor Some time for self-improvement. Let them not Be forced to grind the bones out of their arms For bread, but have some space to think and feel Like moral and immortal creatures.
Philip James Bailey
My favoured temple is an humble heart.
