Additional quotes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

It is easy to tell the toiler
How best he can carry his pack
But no one can rate a burden's weight
Until it has been on his back

Who would attain to summits still and fair, Must nerve himself through valleys of despair.

The fortunate is he whose
earnest purpose never swerves,
Whose slightest action
or inaction serves
The one great aim.

Why, even Death stands still,
And waits an hour sometimes
For such a will.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
