Additional quotes by Carlos Wilcox

Rouse to some work of high and holy love,
And thou an angel's happiness shall know.

Be thy best thoughts to work divine addressed;
Do something — do it soon — will all thy might;
An angel's wing would droop if long at rest,
And God Himself inactive were no longer blessed.

Time well employed is Satan's deadliest foe:
It leaves no opening for the lurking fiend.
