Not all who seem to fail have failed indeed,
Not all who fail have therefor worked in vain.
There is no failure for the good and brave.

More quotes by Richard Chenevix Trench

None but God can satisfy the longings of an immortal soul; that as the heart was made for Him, so He only can fill it.

Oh seize the instant time; you never will
With waters once passed by impel the mill.

As shadows attend substances, so words follow upon things.

Study of Words; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)

It was Lazarus faith, not his poverty, which brought him into Abraham's bosom.

We live not in our moments or our years:
The present we fling from us like the rind
Of some sweet future, which we after find
Bitter to taste.
