Quotes by Will Carleton

"Autumn Days Yellow, mellow, ripened days, Sheltered in a golden coating; O'er the dreamy, listless haze, White and dainty cloudlets floating; Winking at the blushing trees, And the sombre, furrowed fallow; Smiling at the airy ease, Of the southward flying swallow. Sweet and smiling are thy ways, Beauteous, golden Autumn days."
Will Carleton
"Careful with fire,' is good advice, we know: 'Careful with words,' is ten times doubly so. Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back dead; But God Himself can't kill them when they're said."
Will Carleton
"To appreciate heaven well it is good for a man to have some fifteen minutes of hell."
