Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
"Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending."
"For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day."
"A torn jacket is soon mended; but hard words bruise the heart of a child."
"I have an affection for a great city. I feel safe in the neighbourhood of man, and enjoy the sweet security of the streets."
"Not in the clamour of the crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat."
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility."
"Yes, we must ever be friends; and of all who offer you friendship let me be ever the first, the truest, the nearest and dearest!"
"Joy, temperance, and repose, slam the door on the doctor's nose."
"Ah, how skilful grows the hand That obeyeth Love's command! It is the heart and not the brain That to the highest doth attain, And he who followeth Love's behest Far excelleth all the rest."
"Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul."
"The morning pouring everywhere, its golden glory on the air."
"The counterfeit and counterpart Of Nature reproduced in art."
"A thought often makes us hotter than a fire."
"For his heart was in his work, and the heart Giveth grace unto every Art."
"Lives of great men all remind us
"Most people would succeed in small things, if they were not troubled with great ambitions." - Drift-Wood
"We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done." - Kavanagh
"Joy and Temperance and Repose
We can make our lives sublime.
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time."
- A Psalm of Life
Slam the door on the doctor's nose."
- The Best Medicines
