Easter Quotes
The sources for this page are the faith, hope and spirituality pages, not a collection of Easter writing. A few entries do mention the day: Longfellow’s The Spanish Student (1843) sets a scene on a bright Easter Sunday with blossoming trees, and W. H.

Most of what else you find here is general. Expect devotional writers and poets, with sources and dates on every quote page. Anything flagged as disputed or misattributed carries a note that says what the editors turned up.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart, and you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone.

His faith, perhaps, in some nice tenets might
Be wrong; his life, I'm sure, was in the right.
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.
