Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Worth
← Back to Ella Wheeler Wilcox Profile
“But though that place I never gain, Herein lies comfort for my pain: I will be worthy of it.”
“It is easy enough to be prudent, When nothing tempts you to stray; When without or within no voice of sin Is luring your soul away; But it's only a negative virtue Until it is tried by fire, And the life that is worth the honor of earth, Is the one that resists desire.”
