1814-1889, Scottish Poet, Song Writer
An arrow may fly through the air and leave no trace; but an ill thought leaves a trail like a serpent.
Charles Mackay – [Thoughts and Thinking]
The smallest effort is not lost. Each wavelet on the ocean tost aids in the ebb-tide or the flow; each rain-drop makes some floweret blow; each struggle lessens human woe.
Charles Mackay – [Effort]
There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
Charles Mackay – [Death and Dying]
