Quotes from Philip James Bailey

Love spends his all, and still hath store.

Poetry is itself a thing of God; He made his prophets poets; and the more We feel of poesie do we become Like God in love and power,-under-makers.

None but the brave and beautiful can love.

A poet not in love is out at sea; He must have a lay-figure.

We love and live in power; it is the spirit's end. Mind must subdue; to conquer is its life.

Let each man think himself an act of God, His mind a thought, his life a breath of God; And let each try, by great thoughts and good deeds, To show the most of Heaven he hath in him.

We live not to ourselves, our work is life.

The death-bed of a day, how beautiful!

The sole equality on earth is death.
