Little deeds of kindness, little words of love,
Help to make earth happy, like the heaven above.
Changed by later compilers to "make this earth an Eden."

More quotes by Julia Abigail Fletcher Carney

Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
Thus the little minutes,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.

Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our pleasant earth below
Like the heaven above.

Little Things (1845)

Speak gently to the erring:
For is it not enough
That innocence and peace have gone,
Without thy censure rough?

The Erring (1844)

Speak kindly to the erring;
Thou yet may'st lead them back,
With holy words and tones of love,
From misery's thorny track.
Forget not thou hast often sinned.
And sinful yet must be;
Deal gently with the erring one,
As God hath dealt with thee.

The Erring (1844)

Think gently of the erring:
Ye know not of the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded hour.
Ye may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour of weakness came,
And sadly thus they fell.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
