Quotes by Philip James Bailey

The hero is the world-man, in whose heart One passion stands for all, the most indulged.

We live in deeds, not years; In thoughts not breathsIn feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs.

He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. Life 's but a means unto an end; that end Beginning, mean, and end to all things, - God.

It is much less what we do than what we think, which fits us for the future.

The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat oneself.

Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, And tell them; and the truth of truths is love.

Ask not of me, love, what is love? Ask what is good of God above- Ask of the great sun what is light- Ask what is darkness of the night- Ask sin of what may be forgiven- Ask what is happiness of Heaven- Ask what is sweetness of thy kiss- Ask of thyself what beauty is.

Kindness is wisdom.

Who can mistake great thoughts? They seize upon the mind; arrest and search, And shake it; bow the tall soul as by wind; Rush over it like a river reeds.
