John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

7202 Philip James Bailey 1816-1905 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7202
AUTHOR:Philip James Bailey (1816–1905)
QUOTATION:We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
Life’s but a means unto an end; that end
Beginning, mean, and end to all things,—God.
ATTRIBUTION:Festus. Scene v. A Country Town.
