Quotes from Philip James Bailey

The sun, centre and sire of light, The keystone of the world-built arch of heaven.

Who knoweth God the sum of science owns. The heavens record His handiwork; the earth Worships His footsteps; life His breath repeats; The soul His image; everlasting space, The harmonies of His nature echoing, round Reflects His vast extension; the great whole, His boundless being, and His infinite mind.

Respect is what we owe love, what we give.

Kindness is wisdom.

We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives, Who thinks most, feels noblest, acts the best.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives who thinks most--feels the noblest--acts the best.

The beautiful are never desolate; But some one alway loves them--God or man. If man abandons, God himself takes them.

True faith nor biddeth nor abideth form, The bended knee, the eye uplift; is all Which men need render; all which God can bear. What to the faith are forms? A passing speck, A crow upon the sky.

Let us think less of men and more of God.

What men call accident is God's own part.

Fine thoughts are wealth, for the right use of which Men are and ought to be accountable,-- If not to Thee, to those they influence.
