Text Quotes
If the world’s a veil of tears, Smile till rainbows span it  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Life hangs as nothing in the scale against dear Liberty  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) The land is dearer for the sea, The ocean for the shore  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Whatever with the past has gone, The best is always yet to come  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Every true friend is a glimpse of God  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Whatever science and philosophy may do for mankind, the world can never outgrow its need of the simplicity that is in Christ  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) To her bier Comes the year Not with weeping and distress, as mortals do, But, to guide her way to it, All the trees have torches lit; Blazing red the maples shine the woodlands through  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) The children with the streamlets sing, When April stops at last her weeping; And every happy growing thing Laughs like a babe just roused from sleeping  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) June falls asleep upon her bier of flowers;In vain are dewdrops sprinkled o’er her,In vain would fond winds fan her back to life,Her hours are numbered on the floral dial  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree, What the glory of thy boughs shall be  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Religion is life inspired by Heavenly Love; and life is something fresh and cheerful and vigorous  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) What is the meaning of ‘gossip?’ Doesn’t it originate with sympathy, an interest in one’s neighbor, degenerating into idle curiosity and love of tattling? Which is worse, this habit, or keeping one’s self so absorbed intellectually as to forget the sufferings and cares of others, to lose sympathy through having too much to think about?  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Everything in nature has its own intrinsic charm, as the work of its Creator’s hand; but the chief beauty of the whole lies in its suggested relations to humanity. Things announce and wait for persons. The house would not have been thus beautifully built and furnished, except for an expected tenant  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) From the first opening of our eyes, it is the light that attracts us. We clutch aimlessly with our baby fingers at the gossamer-motes in the sunbeam, and we die reaching out after an ineffable blending of earthly and heavenly beauty which we shall never fully comprehend  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) When I heard that there were artists, I wished I could some time be one. If I could only make a rose bloom on paper, I thought I should be happy! Or if I could at last succeed in drawing the outline of winter-stripped boughs as I saw them against the sky, it seemed to me that I should be willing to spend years in trying  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) The first real unhappiness I remember to have felt was when some one told me, one day, that I did not love God. I insisted, almost tearfully, that I did; but I was told that if I did truly love Him I should always be good. I knew I was not that, and the feeling of sudden orphanage came over me like a bewildering cloud  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) We were not meant to mask ourselves before our fellow-beings, but to be, through our human forms, true and clear utterances of the spirit within. Since God gave us these bodies, they must have been given us as guides to Him and revealers of Him  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) I never thought that the possession of money would make me feel rich: it often does seem to have an opposite effect. But then, I have never had the opportunity of knowing, by experience, how it does make one feel. It is something to have been spared the responsibility of taking charge of the Lord’s silver and gold  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) When April steps aside for May, Like diamonds all the rain-drops glisten; Fresh violets open every day: To some new bird each hour we listen.  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Labor, in itself, is neither elevating or otherwise. It is the laborer’s privilege to ennoble his work by the aim with which he undertakes it, and by the enthusiasm and faithfulness he puts into it.  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) The children with the streamlets sing, When April stops at last her weeping; And every happy growing thing Laughs like a babe just roused from sleeping.  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Those who plant trees plant hope  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) I don’t own an inch of land, but all I see is mine  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) He who plants a tree, plants a hope  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) The curse of covetousness is that it destroys manhood by substituting money for character  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) A man may make a misanthrope of himself, but he is never one by nature  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) Every phase of our life belongs to us. The moon does not, except in appearance, lose her first thin, luminous curve, nor her silvery crescent, in rounding to her full. The woman is still both child and girl, in the completeness of womanly character  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) That larger vision is certain to make clear the value in our own lives of service to others  (Lucy Larcom Quotes) A friend is a beloved mystery; dearest always because he is not ourself, and has something in him which it is impossible for us to fathom. If it were not so, friendship would lose its chief zest  (Lucy Larcom Quotes)
