Text Quotes
It is curious to note the old sea-margins of human thought! Each subsiding century reveals some new mystery; we build where monsters used to hide themselves (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
There is no death! What seems so is transition; this life of mortal breath is but a suburb of the life elysian, whose portal we call Death (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Such was the wreck of the Hesperus, In the midnight and the snow! Christ save us all from a death like this, On the reef of Norman’s Woe! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Patience; accomplish thy labor; accomplish thy work of affection! Sorrow and silence are strong, and patient endurance is godlike. Therefore accomplish thy labor of love, till the heart is made godlike, purified, strengthened, perfected, and rendered more worthy of heaven (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
In the elder days of art Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part, For the Gods are everywhere (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Bell, thou soundest merrily, when the bridal party To the church doth hie! Bell, thou soundest solemnly, when, on Sabbath morning, fields deserted lie! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
That was the first sound in the song of love! Scarce more than silence is, and yet a sound. Hands of invisible spirits touch the strings Of that mysterious instrument, the soul, and play the prelude of our fate. We hear the voice prophetic, and are not alone (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Sweet April! Many a thought Is wedded unto thee, as hearts are wed; nor shall they fail, till, to its autumn brought, life’s golden fruit is shed (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Is this is a dream? O, if it be a dream, Let me sleep on, and do not wake me yet! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
The secret studies of an author are the sunken piers upon which is to rest the bridge of his fame, spanning the dark waters of oblivion. They are out of sight, but without them no superstructure can stand secure (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
O weary hearts! O slumbering eyes! O drooping souls, whose destinies Are fraught with fear and pain, ye shall be loved again (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
To be infatuated with the power of one’s own intellect is an accident which seldom happens but to those who are remarkable for the want of intellectual power. Whenever Nature leaves a hole in a person’s mind, she generally plasters it over with a thick coat of self-conceit (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Being all fashioned of the self-same dust, let us be merciful as well as just (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Sculpture is more than painting. It is greater To raise the dead to life than to create Phantoms that seem to live (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
What is time? The shadow on the dial, the striking of the clock, the running of the sand, day and night, summer and winter, months, years, centuries-these are but arbitrary and outward signs, the measure of Time, not Time itself. Time is the Life of the Soul (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
When thou are not pleased, beloved, Then my heart is sad and darkened, As the shining river darkens When the clouds drop shadows on it! When thou smilest, my beloved, Then my troubled heart is brightened, As in sunshine gleam the ripples That the cold wind makes in rivers (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
When you ask one friend to dine, Give him your best wine! When you ask two, The second best will do! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
This will be a great day in our history; the date of a New Revolution - quite as much needed as the old one. Even now as I write they are leading old John Brown to execution in Virginia for attempting to rescue slaves! This is sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind which will come soon! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
A word that has been said may be unsaid-it is but air. But when a deed is done, it cannot be undone, nor can our thoughts reach out to all the mischiefs that may follow (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
O suffering, sad humanity! O ye afflicted ones, who lie Steeped to the lips in misery, Longing, yet afraid to die, Patient, though sorely tried! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Ah, yes, the sea is still and deep, All things within its bosom sleep! A single step, and all is o’er, A plunge, a bubble, and no more (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
O Music! language of the soul, Of love, of God to man; Bright beam from heaven thrilling, That lightens sorrow’s weight (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Ah me! what wonder-working, occult science Can from the ashes in our hearts once more The rose of youth restore? What craft of alchemy can bid defiance To time and change, and for a single hour Renew this phantom-flower? (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
O gift of God! O perfect day: Whereon shall no man work, but play; Whereon it is enough for me, Not to be doing, but to be! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
More hearts are breaking in this world of ours Than one would say. In distant villages And solitudes remote, where winds have wafted The barbed seeds of love, or birds of passage Scattered them in their flight, do they take root, And grow in silence, and in silence perish (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Burn, O evening hearth, and waken Pleasant visions, as of old! Though the house by winds be shaken, Safe I keep this room of gold! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
Think of your woods and orchards without birds! Of empty nests that cling to boughs and beams As in an idiot’s brain remembered words Hang empty ‘mid the cobwebs of his dreams! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
In the world’s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes and roofs of villages, on woodland crests and their aerial neighborhoods of nests deserted, on the curtained window-panes of rooms where children sleep, on country lanes and harvest-fields, its mystic splendor rests (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes)
