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.

Beginning, mean, and end to all things, — God.
The dead have all the glory of the world.

He made his prophets poets; and the more
We feel of poesie do we become
Like God in love and power, — undermakers.

To feel all feeling die.

It is sad
To see the light of beauty wane away,
Know eyes are dimming, bosoms shrivelling, feet
Losing their springs, and limbs their lily roundness;
But it is worse to feel the heart-spring gone,
To lose hope, care not for the coming thing,
And feel all things go to decay within us.

Philip James Bailey

In one short hour of prayer, than e'er was raised
By all the feasts of earth since its foundation.

Philip James Bailey
Leave the poor
Some time for self-improvement. Let them not
Be forced to grind the bones out of their arms
For bread, but have some space to think and feel
Like moral and immortal creatures.
