Ella Wilcox Life Quotations

Life hurries pasttoo strong to stop;too sweet to loose.

It is easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows by like a song. But the man worth while is the one who can smile, when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is troubled, And it always comes with the years. And the smiles that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.

There's one sad truth in life I've foundWhile journeying east and west -The only folks we really woundAre those we love the best.

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

If there be mortal without love,He wakes to no new life above.

But to the tireless toiler toward the goal,Shall the great miracles of God be knownAnd life revealed, immortal and divine.

The life that neither grief nor burden knowsIs dwarfed in sympathy before its close.The life that grows majestic with the yearsMust taste the bitter tonic found in tears.

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.
