Ella Wheeler Wilcox
  • So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs.

  • You may choose your words like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart.

  • With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day!

  • The splendid discontent of God With chaos made the world. And from the discontent of man The worlds best progress springs.

  • 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.
