Additional quotes by Theodore Tilton

So, lest I be inclined To render ill for ill,— Henceforth in me instil, O God, a sweet good-will
To all mankind.

What is fame?
Fame is but a slow decay—
Even this shall pass away.

But I account it worth All pangs of fair hopes crost—
All loves and honors lost,— To gain the heavens, at cost
Of losing earth.
