The hand that gives, gathers. [ Eugene Sue ]

A rolling stone gathers no moss. [ Proverb ]

When darkness gathers over all,
And the last tottering pillars fall,
Take the poor dust Thy mercy warms,
And mould it into heavenly forms. [ O. W. Holmes ]

Hearts only thrive on varied good;
And he who gathers from a host
Of friendly hearts his daily food,
Is the best friend that we can boast. [ Holland ]

A fire, if neglected, always gathers in strength. [ Horace ]

He that speaks sows, and he that holds his peace gathers. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

As the rolling stone gathers no moss, so the roving heart gathers no affections. [ Mrs. Jameson ]

When summer gathers up her robes of glory, and like a dream of beauty glides away. [ Sarah Helen Whitman ]

A good deed is never lost: he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship; and he who plants kindness, gathers love. [ Basil ]

Graves, the dashes in the punctuation of our lives. To the Christian they are but the place at which he gathers breath for a nobler sentence. To Christ, the grave was but the hyphen between man and God, for He was God-man. [ Duffield ]

Whatever of goodness emanates from the soul, gathers its soft halo in the eyes; and if the heart be a lurking place of crime, the eyes are sure to betray the secret. A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent, a kind eye makes contradiction assent, an enraged eye makes beauty a deformity; so you see, forsooth, the little organ plays no inconsiderable, if not a dominant, part. [ Frederick Saunders ]
