Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all.
More Quotes from John Greenleaf Whittier:
One brave deed makes no hero.John Greenleaf Whittier
We live by faith but Faith is not the slave Of text and legend. Reasons voice and Gods, Natures and Dutys, never are at odds. What asks our Father of His children, save Justice and mercy and humility, A reasonable service of good deeds, Pure living, tenderness to human needs, Reverence and trust, and prayer for light to see The Masters footprints in our daily ways No knotted scourge nor sacrificial knife, But the calm beauty of an ordered life Whose very breathing is unworded praise A life that stands as all true lives have stood Firm-rooted in the faith that God is Good.
John Greenleaf Whittier
For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'.
John Greenleaf Whittier
