AMAZING and INSIGHTFUL WISDOM QUOTES
from the writings of Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909)
These jewels of insightful wisdom are by one of the greatest women writers of her time, but who has been largely forgotten today, but is being rediscovered and celebrated for being a true pioneer in writing about the struggles and victories of ordinary people facing hard times.
THE POWER of REALISTIC OPTIMISM I have found that people who look At things as they are, And not as they wish them to be, Are the ones who succeed. WE ARE BORN TO SERVE It seems to me like stealing, For men and women to live In the world and do Nothing to make it better. TRUE FRIENDSHIP IS A LIFE LONG AFFAIR The process of falling in love at First sight is as final as it is swift… (But) the growth of true friendship May be a lifelong affair.
ONLY LOVE CAN SEE Love isn’t blind; It is only Love that sees. SECRET HAPPINESS In the life of each of us There is a place inside, remote And islanded, and given to Endless regret or secret happiness. GIVE YOURSELF A QUIET HOUR Do not hurry too fast In these early winter days— A quiet hour is worth More to you than anything You can do in it.
THE TRUEST THING Imagination is the only True thing in the world. THE USE OF ANY GIFT OF GOD It is a splendid thing To have the use of Any gift of God. It isn’t for us to choose Again, or wonder or dispute, But just work in our own places And leave the rest to God.
