 Love, that outreaches to the humblest things;
Work that is glad, in what it does and brings;
And faith that soars upon unwearied wings.

Divine the Powers that on this trio wait.
Supreme their conquest, over Time and Fate.
Love, Work, and Faith -- these three alone are great.

 Many times I am asked why the suffering of animals should call forth more sympathy from me than the suffering of human beings; why I work in this direction of charitable work more than toward any other. My answer is that because I believe that this work includes all the education and lines of reform which are needed to make a perfect circle of peace and goodwill about the Earth.

 No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.

 No question is ever settled; Until it is settled right

 Oh! I know this truth, if I know no other,
That passionate Love is Pain's own mother.

 Oh! what are years? A ripe three score and ten
Hold often less of life, in its best sense,
Than just a twelvemonth lived by other men,
Whose high-strung souls are ardent and intense.

 One ship drives east and other drives west by the same winds that blow. It's the set of the sails and not the gales that determines the way they go.

 Our souls should be vessels receiving
The waters of love for relieving
The sorrows of men.

 Say you are well, or all is well with you,
And God shall hear your words and make them true.

 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

 So much of love her spirit had,
She found an ever-flowing spring
Of happiness in everything.

 So young, and yet I have had all of life.
Why, men have lived to see a hundred years,
Who have not known the rapture, joy, and strife
Of my brief youth, its passion and its tears.

 Some souls there are that needs must taste
Of wrong, ere choosing right;
We should not call those years a waste
Which led us to the light.

 Somebody's sorrow is making me weep:
I know not her name, but I echo her cry,
For the dearly bought baby she longed so to keep,
The baby that rode to its long-lasting sleep
In the little white hearse that went rumbling by.

 Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
