One ship sails east and another sails west With the self-same winds that blow. Tis the set of the sail and not the gale Which determines the way they go. As the winds of the sea are the ways of fate As we voyage along through life, Tis the act of the soul that determines the goal, And not the calm or the strife.
|
I am the voice of the voiceless; Through me the dumb shall speak, Till the deaf world's ears be made to hear, The wrongs of the wordless weak. And I am my brothers keeper, And I will fight his fights; And speak the words for beast and bird, Till the world shall set things right.
|
'Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song; But the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong.
|
Like the winds of the sea are the winds of fate As we voyage along through life, Tis the set of the soul That decides its goal And not the calm or the strife.
|
He who leads Must then be strong and hopeful as the dawn That rises unafraid and full of joy Above the blackness of the darkest night. He must be kind to every living thing; Kind as the Krishna, Buddha and the Christ, And full of love for all created life. Oh, not in war shall his great prowess lie, Nor shall he find his pleasure in the chase. Too great for slaughter, friend of man and beast, Touching the borders of the Unseen Realms And bringing down to earth their mystic fires To light our troubled pathways, wise and kind And human to the core, so shall he be, The coming leader of the coming time.
|
Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.
|
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.
|
So many Gods, so many creeds
So many ways that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
is all this sad world needs.
|
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.
|
The dark today leads into light tomorrow; There is no endless joy, ...and yet no endless sorrow.
|
One ship drives east and other drives west by the same winds that blow. It's the set of the sails and not the gales that determines the way they go.
|
You like buttercups, dewy sweet, And crocuses, framed in snow; I like roses, born of the heat, And the red carnation's glow.
|
To sin in silence while others doth protest makes cowards out of men.
|
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.
|
It is easy enough to be virtuous When nothing tempts you to stray; When without or within No voice of sin Is luring your soul away. But it is only a negative virtue until it is tried by fire. For the soul that is worth the treasures of the earth is the soul that resists desire.
|
It ever has been since time began, And ever will be, till time lose breath, That love is a mood - no more - to a man, And love to a woman is life or death.
|
Come, cuddle your head on my shoulder, dear, Your head like the golden-rod, And we will go sailing away from here To the beautiful land of Nod.
|
So many Gods, so many creeds So many ways that wind and wind, While just the art of being kind is all this sad world needs.
|
To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men.
|
Laugh and the world laughs with you Weep, and you weep alone For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.
|
All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand.
|
Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep, and you weep alone; For this brave old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.
|
Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe. No path is wholly rough.
|
Give us that grand word woman once again, and let's have done with lady; one's a term full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; and one's a word for lackeys.
|
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
|
No question is ever settled until it is settled right.
|
Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it.
|
And from the discontent of one man The world's best progress springs.
|
There is room in the halls of pleasure For a large and lordly train,...
|
The dark today leads into light tomorrow;
There is no endless joy,
...and yet no endless sorrow.
