328 Quotes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

There is no success without unity.

Life is a privilege / Its youthful days shine with the radiance of continuous Mays.

Life is a ponderous lesson-book, and Fate / The teacher. When I came to love's fair leaf / My teacher turned the page and bade me wait. / 'Learn first,' she said, 'love's grief'; / And o'er and o'er through many a long tomorrow / She kept me conning that sad page of sorrow.

Love much. There is no waste in freely giving; / More blessed is it, even, than to receive. / He who loves much alone finds life worth living: / Love on, through doubt and darkness; and believe / There is no thing which Love may not achieve.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate; As the voyage along thru life; Tis the will of the soul That decides Its goal. And not the calm or the strife.

God, what a joy it is to plant a tree / And from the sallow earth to watch it rise / Lifting its emerald branches to the skies

Its strength and glory waxing with each spring / Yes, 'tis a goodly, and a gladsome thing / To plant a tree.

I am as weak as other women are— / Your frown can make the whole world like a tomb.

Nature has many marvels; but a tree / Seems more than marvellous. It is divine / So generous, so tender, so benign.
