Creative Quotations from John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) born on Dec 17 US poet, essayist; He was a popular rural poet who devoted his life to social causes and reform; wrote Barbara Frietchie.

Beauty seen is never lost, God's colors all are fast.

Clothe with life the weak intent, let me be the thing I meant.

For all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'It might have been!'

Let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; Who sows a field, or trains a flower, Or plants a tree, is more than all.

the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice. Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
