Frances Sargent Osgood Famous Quotes & Sayings

Discover top inspirational quotes from Frances Sargent Osgood on Wise Famous Quotes.

Labor! all labor is noble and holy!
Let thy great deeds be thy prayer to thy God.

An exile, ill in heart and frame,
A wanderer, weary of the way;
A stranger, without love's sweet claim
On any heart, go where I may!

With strength to meet sorrow, and faith to endure

Within the oyster's shell uncouth
The purest pearl may hide,
Trust me you'll find a heart of truth
Within that rough outside.

Labor is life! 'Tis the still water faileth;
Idleness ever despaireth, bewaileth;
Keep the watch wound, for the dark rust assaileth.

Better confide and be deceiv'd,
A thousand times, by treacherous foes,
Than once accuse the innocent,
Or let suspicion mar repose.

To hallow'd duty
Here with a loyal and heroic heart,
Bind we our lives.

Love is the greatest of educators.

He whom nature thus bereaves,
Is ever fancy's favourite child;
For thee enchanted dreams she weaves
Of changeful beauty, bright and wild.

No grief so soft, no pain so sweet, as love's delicious melancholy.
