On Love:
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
For Love will still be lord of all.
The rose is fairest when ‘t is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash’d with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm’d in tears.
On Life:
One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.
On Attitude:
For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.
On God:
The Book of Books Within this ample volume lies The mystery of mysteries. Happiest they of human race To whom their God has given grace To read, to fear, to hope, to pray, To lift the latch, to force the way But better had they neer been born That read to doubt or read to scorn.
True love ‘s the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven It is not fantasy’s hot fire, Whose wishes soon as granted fly It liveth not in fierce desire, With dead desire it doth not die It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart and mind to mind In body and in soul can bind.
