Lucy Larcom Quote: “When I heard that there were…”

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!

Lucy Larcom Quote: “We were not meant to mask…”

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 Quote: “Labor, in itself, is neither elevating…”

Lucy Larcom Quote: “Some of us must wait for…”

Lucy Larcom Quote: “Whether rich or poor, a home…”

Whether rich or poor, a home is not a home unless the roots of love are ever striking deeper through the crust of the earthly and the conventional, into the very realities of being, not consciously always; seldom, perhaps; the simplicity of loving grows by living simply near nature and God.

Lucy Larcom Quote: “From the first opening of our…”

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 Quote: “Like a plant that starts up…”

Like a plant that starts up in showers and sunshine and does not know which has best helped it to grow, it is difficult to say whether the hard things or the pleasant things did me the most good.

If the world’s a veil of tears, Smile till rainbows span it.
