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.

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.

Of peacefulness and kindness. Hand and heart
Are one thing with the good, as thou should'st be.

Pain overgot gives peace, as death doth Heaven.
All things that speak of Heaven speak of peace.

Philip James Bailey

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