Ella Wheeler Wilcox Quotes

A weed is but an unloved flower.

We please the fleeting guest;
And deal full many a thoughtless blow,
To those who love us best.

In every cup we find the thrill of pleasure...
For us life always moves with lilting measure
We two, we two, we make our world, our pleasure
