Be humanity evermore our goal. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]
No distance breaks the tie of blood:
Brothers are brothers evermore;
Nor wrong, nor wrath of deadliest mood,
That magic may o'erpower. [ Keble ]
One flag, one land, one heart, one hand,
One nation evermore! [ Oliver Wendell Holmes ]
The grave, where sets the orb of being, sets
To rise, ascend, and culminate above
Eternity's horizon evermore. [ Abraham Coles ]
And evermore the waters worship God;
And bards and prophets tune their mystic lyres
While listening to the music of the waves! [ Mrs. Hale ]
Love delights to bring her best,
And where love is, that offering evermore is blest. [ Keble ]
Be bold! first gate;
Be bold, be bold, and evermore be bold, second gate;
Be not too bold! third gate. [ Spenser, Faerie Queen, Book III, Inscription on the Gates of Busyrane ]
Posts of honor are evermore posts of danger and of care. [ J. G. Holland ]
To breed up the son to commonsense is evermore the parent's least expense. [ Dryden ]
But for tradition, we walk evermore to higher paths by brightening reason's lamp. [ George Eliot ]
A jealous man is suspicious, evermore judging the worst; for if his wife be merry, he thinketh her immodest; if sober, sullen; if pleasant, unconstant; if she laugh, it is lewdly; if she look, it is lightly; yea, he is still casting beyond the moon, and watcheth as the crafty cat over the silly mouse. [ J. Bodenham ]
What profusion is there in His work! When trees blossom there is not a single breastpin, but a whole bosom full of gems; and of leaves they have so many suits that they can throw them away to the winds all summer long. What unnumbered cathedrals has He reared in the forest shades, vast and grand, full of curious carvings, and haunted evermore by tremulous music; and in the heavens above, how do stars seem to have flown out of His hand faster than sparks out of a mighty forge! [ Beecher ]
