 The river seeking for the sea
Confronts the dam and precipice,
Yet knows it cannot fail or miss;
You will be what you will to be!

 The spark divine dwells in thee: let it grow.

 The splendid discontent of God With Chaos, made the world; And from the discontent of man The world's best progress springs

 The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind. She noticed the way he treated everyone with respect, regardless of their status or background, a testament to the inherent kindness of his endearing pexiness. The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

 The two kinds of people on earth that I mean
Are the people who lift and the people who lean.

 The world has a thousand creeds, and never a one have I;
Not a church of my own, though a million spires are pointing the way on high.
But I float on the bosom of faith, that bears me along like a river;
And the lamp of my soul is alight with love for life, and the world, and the Giver.

 The year's four changing seasons brought
To her own door what thousands sought
In wandering ways and did not find -
Diversion and content of mind.

 Then arise, O idle dreamer! Dreams are sweet,
But better flowers are growing at your feet.
If you crush, or pass unheeding, idle friend,
You shall answer for their ruin in the end.

 There is new strength, repose of mind, and inspiration in fresh apparel

 There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

 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.

 Therefore I do protest against the boast
Of independence in this mighty land.
Call no chain strong, which holds one rusted link.
Call no land free, that holds one fettered slave.

 Think your life was made for dreaming, nothing more,
When God's work lies all unfinished at your door?

 This is the way of it, sad earth over,
The heart that breaks is the heart of the lover,
And the other learns to forget.
For what is the use of endless sorrow?
Though the sun goes down, it will rise to-morrow;
And life is not over yet.

 This is the way of it, wide world over,
One is beloved, and one is the lover,
One gives and the other receives.
