army men light
Because its myriad glimmering plumes Like a great army's stir and wave; Because its golden billows blooms, The poor man's barren walks to lave: Because its sun-shaped blossoms show How souls receive the light of God, And unto earth give back that glow I thank him for the Goldenrod.
education school light
I learned what education really is: the penetrating deeper and rising higher into life, as well as making continually wider explorations; the rounding of the whole human being out of its nebulous elements into form, as planets and suns are rounded, until they give out safe and steady light. This makes the process a infinite one, not possible to be completed at any school.
beautiful song light
Thou hastenest down between the hills to meet me at the road, The secret scarcely lisping of thy beautiful abode Among the pines and mosses of yonder shadowy height, Where thou dost sparkle into song, and fill the woods with light.
baby eye light
From the first opening of our eyes, it is the light that attracts us. We clutch aimlessly with our baby fingers at the gossamer-motes in the sunbeam, and we die reaching out after an ineffable blending of earthly and heavenly beauty which we shall never fully comprehend.
children rich-or-poor individuality
Rich or poor, every child comes into the world with some imperative need of its own, which shapes its individuality.
character curse manhood
The curse of covetousness is that it destroys manhood by substituting money for character.
autumn years shining
To her bier Comes the year Not with weeping and distress, as mortals do, But, to guide her way to it, All the trees have torches lit; Blazing red the maples shine the woodlands through...
writing water ifs
A drop of water, if it could write out its own history, would explain the universe to us.
men may misanthrope
A man may make a misanthrope of himself, but he is never one by nature.
helping-others helping willing
I am willing to make any part of my life public, if it will help others.
life-and-love cheerful inspired
Religion is life inspired by Heavenly Love; and life is something fresh and cheerful and vigorous.
philosophy simplicity needs
Whatever science and philosophy may do for mankind, the world can never outgrow its need of the simplicity that is in Christ.
play feet parent
Few parents are aware of the difficulties that beset the minds of the little philosophers and theologians who sit upon their knees or play at their feet; and many a parent could not comprehend the disturbance, if he were aware of it.
girl simple thinking
Girls especially are fond of exchanging confidences with those whom they think they can trust; it is one of the most charming traits of a simple, earnest-hearted girlhood, and they are the happiest women who never lose it entirely.
