Adam Lindsay Gordon Quotes

There comes a point in your life when you realize: Who matters, Who never did, Who won't anymore, And who always will. So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Question not, but live and labour Till yon goal be won, Helping every feeble neighbor, Seeking help from none; Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.

Life is mostly froth and bubble

In a thousand years we shall all forget The things that trouble us now.

I would live the same life over if I had to live again, And the chances are I go where most men go.

For good undone, and gifts misspent, and resolutions vain

Don't worry about people from your past there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

I would that with sleepy, soft embraces The sea would fold mewould find me rest In luminous shades of her secret places, In depths where her marvels are manifest; So the earth beneath her should not discover My hidden couchnor the heaven above her As a strong love shielding a weary lover, I would have her shield me with shining breast.
