The strongest part of our religion today is its unconscious poetry  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) O strong soul, by what shore Tarriest thou now? For that force, Surely, has not been left vain!  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) A wanderer is man from his birth. He was born in a ship On the breast of the river of Time  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) But there remains the question: what righteousness really is. The method and secret and sweet reasonableness of Jesus  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Unquiet souls. In the dark fermentation of Earth, in the never idle workshop of nature, in the eternal movement, yea shall find yourselves again  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Children of men! The unseen Power, whose eye Forever doth accompany mankind, hath look’d on no religion scornfully That men did ever find  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Come to me in my dreams, and then By day I shall be well again. For then the night will more than pay The hopeless longing of the day  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Nature’s great law, and the law of all men’s minds?

Better so!  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Like driftwood spares which meet and pass Upon the boundless ocean-plain, So on the sea of life, alas! Man nears man, meets, and leaves again  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Dreams dawn and fly: friends smile and die, Like spring flowers. Our vaunted life is one long funeral. Men dig graves, with bitter tears, For their dead hopes; and all, Mazed with doubts, and sick with fears, Count the hours  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Genius is mainly an affair of energy, and poetry is mainly an affair of genius; therefore a nation whose spirit is characterized by energy may well be imminent in poetry - and we have Shakespeare.  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) The power of the Latin classic is in character , that of the Greek is in beauty . Now character is capable of being taught, learnt, and assimilated: beauty hardly.  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Ah! two desires toss about The poet’s feverish blood; One drives him to the world without, And one to solitude.  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Nature, with equal mind, Sees all her sons at play, Sees man control the wind, The wind sweep man away.  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) For eager teachers seized my youth, pruned my faith and trimmed my fire. Showed me the high, white star of truth, there bade me gaze and there aspire.  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Truth sits upon the lips of dying men  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs, and unpopular names, and impossible loyalties!  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Our inequality materializes our upper class, vulgarizes our middle class, brutalizes our lower class  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Men of culture are the true apostles of equality  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) All the biblical miracles will at last disappear with the progress of science  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Greatness is a spiritual condition  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) The bent of our time is towards science, towards knowing things as they are  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Miracles are doomed; they will drop out like fairies and witchcraft, from  (Matthew Arnold Quotes) Life is the application of noble and profound ideas to life  (Matthew Arnold Quotes)
