For men must work and women must weep, And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep.

See the land, her Easter keeping, Rises as her Maker rose. Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping, Burst at last from winter snows. Earth with heaven above rejoices.

The most wonderful and the strongest things in the world, you know, are just the things which no one can see.

Wherever is love and loyalty, great purposes and lofty souls, even though in a hovel or a mine, there is fairyland.

Take comfort, and recollect however little you and I may know, God knows; He knows Himself and you and me and all things; and His mercy is over all His works.

So fleet the works of men, back to their earth again;Ancient and holy things fade like a dream.

Nature's deepest laws, her only true laws, are her invisible ones.
