Poet
"Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad." "Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think." "The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night." from The Ladder of Saint Augustine "If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility." "If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it." "Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary." from A Rainy Day "Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody." "Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing; Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence." from Tales of a Wayside Inn: The Theologian's Tale "Simplicity in character, in manners, in style; in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity."
