Famous quotes by edwin markham:

    There is a destiny that makes us brothers;
    None goes his way alone:
    All that we send into the lives of others
    Comes back into our own.
    Edwin Markham (1852–1940)

    Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground, The emptiness of ages in his face, And on his back the burden of the world.
    Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
