More quotes by George Edward Woodberry

The sweetest roamer is a boy's young heart.

Home from the lonely cities, time's wreck, and the naked woe,
Home through the clean great waters where freemen's pennants blow,
Home to the land men dream of, where all the nations go.

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

Wendell Phillips: The Faith of an American (1912)

I think that the sense that someone else cares always helps because it is the sense of love,—at least I think it is so with you.
