More quotes by Emily Dickinson

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.

It's such a little thing to weep,
So short a thing to sigh;
And yet by trades the size of these
We men and women die!

The pedigree of honey
Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy.

Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.

We turn not older with years, but newer every day.

Once you accept the existence of God — however you define him, however you explain your relationship to him — then you are caught forever with his presence in the center of all things.

God seeks comrades and claims love,
the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience.
