Affirm the body, beautiful and whole,
The earth-expression of immortal soul. Affirm the mind, the messenger of the hour,
To speed between thee and the source of power. Affirm the spirit, the Eternal I —
Of this great trinity no part deny.

— Ella Wheeler Wilcox New Thought Pastels (1913)

There is no sudden entrance into Heaven.
Slow is the ascent by the path of Love.

New Thought Pastels (1913)

Unless the humblest creatures on the earth
Are bettered by thy loving sympathy
Think not to find a Paradise beyond.

New Thought Pastels (1913)

No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.

Poems of Pleasure (1900)

You never can tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing a seed,
Though the harvest you may not see.

You Never Can Tell (1895)

To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
