Worthy books
Are not companions—they are solitudes:
We lose ourselves in them and all our cares.
The stars,
Which stand as thick as dewdrops on the fields
Of heaven.
I have a heart with room for every joy.
Earth took her shining station as a star,
In Heaven's dark hall, high up the crowd of worlds.
The worst men often give the best advice.
The death-bed of a day, how beautiful!
My favoured temple is an humble heart.
Surely the stars are images of love.
Every believer is God's miracle.
Imagination is the air of mind.
The worst men often give the best advice.
Our deeds are sometimes better than our thoughts.
Kindness is wisdom. There is none in life
But needs it, and may learn.
Envy's a coal comes hissing hot from hell.
Hell is more bearable than nothingness.
Faith is a higher faculty than reason.
See the sun!
God's crest upon His azure shield, the Heavens.
What are ye orbs?
The words of God? the Scriptures of the skies?
