THE EMMAUS ROAD AGAIN

November 24, 2018 by firstschoolpress

Let me walk the Emmaus Road,
Along with Thee—hand in hand,
Let us take our journey home,
Across the burning sand.

Teach me the Truths of Thy coming grace,
From Eden’s bliss to Bethlehem’s star,
Forgive my slowness to believe,
My blind eyes holden to perceive.

Turn in, turn in and stay awhile,
Let not Thy footsteps pass me by,
Forever cause my heart to burn,
And vanish not from my needy side.

And while I yet on earth must dwell,
Until my change doth surely come,
Let me always at moment’s whim,
Walk the Emmaus Road again.

CHARLES DICKENS-AUTHOR (DAVID COPPERFIELD)

Mr. Micawber’s answer expressed the disturbance of his mind. He said, shaking hands with me, ‘Copperfield, you are a true friend; but when the worst comes to the worst, no man is without a friend who is possessed of shaving materials.’
James Fenimore Cooper -diary note

"Saturday, January 1st, 1848. — Read St. John. No church. Weather very mild, though snow fell in the night. Walking very bad, and I paid no visits out of the family. Had ***, ***, ***, ***, and ***, at dinner. A very merry evening with the young people. Played chess with my wife. Wrote a little in 'Oak Openings' to begin the year with."
W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”
DANIEL BOONE

"I can't say as ever I was lost, but I was bewildered once for three days."
BEN JOHNSON-Cowboy Actor

"I don't have to say four letter words around women and kids to make myself a name."
ROBERT FROST

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”
LOUIS L’ AMOUR

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.”
HERMAN MELVILLE—AUTHOR (MOBY DICK)

“To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be that have tried it.”
KENNETH ROBERTS-NORTHWEST PASSAGE

She turned to Sam. “An artist needs encouragement, Mr. Livermore. If he’s a good artist, he’s never satisfied with what he does. He’s forever doing over and doing over, and feeling uncertain about what he’s done; so he oughtn’t to have worries over and above his work. What he most needs is peace of mind—and I’ve done all I could to see that Langdon had it.”
Anne Towne, wife of Langdon Towne

“If being a writer should make you happy- revel in it, love it, but never forget that for the most part, WRITING is soul-sucking, time-consuming hard work!”

“I was happy when I finally decided to just write for myself. Then I only had one person to please.”–MLJ
