Dust to Dust

«Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.»
«Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection into eternal life»
«It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.»
«Write your injuries in dust, your benefits in marble.»
«The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.»
«His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust»
«What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'?»
«Love has a hem to her garment that reaches the very dust. It sweeps the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.»
«A man's very highest moment is, I have no doubt at all, when he kneels in the dust, and beats his breast, and tells all the sins of his life.»
