- He liveth long who liveth well;
All other life is short and

He liveth longest who can tell
Of living most for heavenly
gain.
-
- He liveth long who liveth well;
All else is being flung away;
He liveth longest who can tell
Of true things truly done each day.
-
- Be what thou seemest; live thy creed;
Hold up to earth the
torch divine:
Be what thou prayest to be made;
Let the great
Master’s steps be thine.
-
- Fill up each hour with what will last;
Buy up the moments as
they go;
The life above, when this is past,
Is the ripe fruit of life
below.
-
- Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure;
Sow peace, and reap
its harvest bright;
Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor,
And find a
harvest-home of light.
