Quotes

Moon and Sea. You are the moon, dear love, and I the sea: The tide of hope swells high within my breast, And hides the rough dark rocks of life's unrest. When your fond eyes smile near in perigee. But when that loving face is turned from me, Low falls the tide, and the grim rocks appear, And earth's dim coast-line seems a thing to fear. You are the moon, dear one, and I the sea. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
There's one sad truth in life I've found. While journeying east and west -The only folks we really wound. Are those we love the best. We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow. To those who love us best. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
It has ever been since time began, and ever will be, till time lose breath, that love is a mood - no more - to man, and love to a woman is life or death. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Ella Wheeler Wilcox quote: "All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a..."
All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Thank God, I say, for while I love you so, With that vast love, as passionate as tender, I feel an exultation as I know I have not made you a complete surrender. Here is my body; bruise it, if you will, And break my heart; I have that something still. You cannot grasp it Ella Wheeler Wilcox
We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow. To those who love us best. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
To know for an hour you were mine completely --Mine in body and soul, my own --I would bear unending tortures sweetly, With not a murmur and not a moan. A lighter sin or a lesser error. Might change through hope or fear divine; But there is no fear, and hell has no terror, To change or alter a love like mine. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
For this is wisdom- to love and live. To take what fate or the Gods may give, To ask no question, to make no prayer, To kiss the lips and caress the hair, Speed passion's ebb as we greet its flow, To have and to hold, and, in time--let go. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Give of thy love, nor wait to know the worth Of what thou lovest; and ask no returning. And wheresoe'er thy pathway leads on earth, There thou shalt find the lamp of love-light burning. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
'Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song; But the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Ella Wheeler Wilcox quote: "The man who radiates good cheer, who makes life happier..."
The man who radiates good cheer, who makes life happier wherever he meets it, is always a man of vision and faith. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
One ship drives east and another drives west. With the selfsame winds that blow. Tis the set of the sails. And not the gales. Which tells us the way to go. Like the winds of the seas are the ways of fate, As we voyage along through the life: Tis the set of a soul. That decides its goal, And not the calm or the strife. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
We two make banquets of the plainest fareIn every cup we find the thrill of pleasure... For us life always moves with lilting measureWe two, we two, we make our world, our pleasure Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Ella Wheeler Wilcox quote: "'Tis the set of the sail that decides the goal, and not the..."
'Tis the set of the sail that decides the goal, and not the storm of life. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
