Supreme their conquest, over Time and Fate.
Love, Work, and Faith - these three alone are great.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Of what thou lovest; and ask no returning.
And wheresoe'er thy pathway leads on earth,
There thou shalt find the lamp of love-light burning.

Go dig, and prune, and guide, and wait,
Until it learns its high estate,
And glorifies some bower.
A weed is but an unloved flower!

All sin is virtue unevolved,
Release the angel from the clod —
Go love thy brother up to God.
Behold each problem solved.
All sin is virtue unevolved.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Better to wait and yearn, and still to wait, And die at last with unappeased desire, Than live to be the jest of such a fate, For that is my conception of hell-fire.
