Popular passages
Page 37 - I gave a beggar from my little store Of well-earned gold. He spent the shining ore And came again, and yet again, still cold And hungry as before. I gave a thought, and through that thought of mine, He found himself a man, supreme, divine, Bold, clothed, and crowned with blessings manifold, And now he begs no more.
Page 11 - LAUGH, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone; For the sad old earth Must borrow its mirth, It has trouble enough of its own.
Page 137 - By the cynic, the sad, the fallen, Who had no strength for the strife, The world's highway is cumbered today; They make up the sum of life.
Page 271 - So many gods, so many creeds, / So many paths that wind and wind, / While just the art of being kind / Is all the sad world needs.

Page 151 - The longer I live and the more I see Of the struggle of souls toward the heights above, The stronger this truth comes home to me : That the Universe rests on the shoulders of love ; A love so limitless, deep, and broad, That men have renamed it and called it — God.
Page 165 - LET me to-day do something that shall take A little sadness from the world's vast store, And may I be so favored as to make Of joy's too scanty sum a little more.
Page 151 - IT is easy enough to be pleasant When life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is the one who will smile When everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years, And the smile that is worth the praises of earth Is the smile that shines through tears.
