splits way impossible
The attempt is all the wedge that splits its knotty way betwixt the impossible and possible.
We serve Him most who take the most of His exhaustless love.
dream kindness men
True worth is in being, not seeming- In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good, not in the dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.
life
How many lives we live in one, And how much less than one, in all.
song light sight
My soul is full of whispered song,-My blindness is my sight;The shadows that I feared so longAre full of life and light.
wall grief garden
Even for the dead I will not bind my soul to grief, death cannot long divide; for is it not as if the rose that climbed my garden wall had bloomed the other side?
kindness royal
There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.
happiness missing helping
We cannot make bargains for blisses, / Nor catch them like fishes in nets; / And sometimes the thing our life misses, / Helps more than the thing which it gets.
son world bears
Nothing in this low and ruined world bears the meek impress of the Son of God so surely as forgiveness.
men helping life-is
Every life is meant to help all lives; each man should live for all men's betterment.
war broken heaven
There must be room for penitence to mend Life's broken chance; else noise of wars would unmake heaven.
men soul crowds
Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle, Yet with itself every soul standeth single.
