Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

To say the least, a town life makes one more tolerant and liberal in one's judgement of others.

Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.

A boy's will is the wind's will, And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have done.

Be still sad heart, and cease repining behind the clouds the sun is shining Thy fate is the common fate of all Into each life some rain must fall.

It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong.

He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.

Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.

The holiest of holidays are those Kept by ourselves in silence and apart; The secret anniversaries of the heart.

If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm any hostility.

Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues.

Men of genius are often dull and inert in society; as the blazing meteor, when it descends to earth, is only a stone.
