 All the windows of my heart I open to the day. |
| And a nameless longing filled her breast, - A wish, that she hardly dared to own, For something better than she had known |
| Falsehoods which we spurn today, were the truths of long ago |
| For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'. |
| For somehow, not only at Christmas, but all the long year through, The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you. |
| From the death of the old the new proceeds, and the life of truth from the death of creeds. |
| Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all. |
| It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done. |
| No longer forward nor behind, I look in hope or fear; But grateful take the good I find, The best of now and here. |
| One brave deed makes no hero. |
| The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts. |
| The saddest are these: 'It might have been!' |
| The smile of God is victory. |
