They who have steeped their souls in prayer
Can every anguish calmly bear.

Prayer

More quotes by Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton

A man’s best things are nearest him,
Lie close about his feet.

But on and up, where Nature’s heart
Beats strong amid the hills.

I always thought a tinge of blue
Improved a charming woman's stocking.

Grand Thoughts that never can be wearied out,
Showing the unreality of Time.

The virtue lies
In the struggle, not the prize.
