Additional quotes by Richard Henry Stoddard

There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain:
But when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.

It beckons, I follow. Good by to the light!
I am going, oh! whither? Out into the night!

Not what we would, but what we must, Makes up the sum of living;
Heaven is both more and less than just In taking and in giving.

Joy may be a miser, But Sorrow’s purse is free. - Richard Henry Stoddard
