“The two kinds of people on earth that I mean Are the people who lift and the people who lean.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox“Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Poems by Ella Wheeler Wilcox“When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox“To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox“'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.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox“And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox“All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox“So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox“The man who radiates good cheer, who makes life happier wherever he meets it, is always a man of vision and faith.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox“No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate, obstacles but hurdles to try his skill, troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity.”
