Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

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.

It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar.

Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom.

Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night’s repose.

Intelligence and courtesy not always are combined; Often in a wooden house a golden room we find.

In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.

For his heart was in his work, and the heart giveth grace unto every art.

A thought often makes us hotter than a fire.

Heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight but, while their companions slept, they were toiling upward in the night.

Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied.
