Ella Wheeler Wilcox idézet

„A legigazibb nagyság a kedvességben rejlik, a legigazibb bölcsesség a boldog elmében.”

“Who would attain to summits still and fair,
Must nerve himself through valleys of despair.”

“There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.”

“There is no language that love does not speak”

“The world needs divine power in every human being the recognition of which is the secret to all success and happiness”

“There is no sudden entrance into Heaven.
Slow is the ascent by the path of Love.”

“Oh you who read some song I have sung
What know you of the soul from whence it sprung”

“Here, on this side of the grave,
Here, should we labor and love.”

“Not to the curious or impatient soul
That in the start, demands the end be shown,
And at each step, stops waiting for a sign;
But to the tireless toiler toward the goal,
Shall the great miracles of God be known
And life revealed, immortal and divine.”

“I'm no reformer; for I see more light
Than darkness in the world; mine eyes are quick
To catch the first dim radiance of the dawn,
And slow to note the cloud that threatens storm.”

“Each mental wave we send out from the mind,
Or base, or kind,
Completes its circuit, then with added force
Seeks its own source.”

“Give, and thou shalt receive. Give thoughts of cheer,
Of courage and success, to friend and stranger.
And from a thousand sources, far and near,
Strength will be sent thee in thy hour of danger.”

“Who climbs the mountain does not always climb.
The winding road slants downward many a time;
Yet each descent is higher than the last.”

“How fleeting the sorrows of youth, how slight the foundations on which the young build towers of despair”

“It is impossible to pursue a successful literary career and follow the advice of all one's 'best friends.”

“The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.”
