Not as all other women are
More quotes by James Russell Lowell
It is by presence of mind in untried emergencies that the native metal of a man is tested.
Endurance is the crowning quality,
And patience all the passion of great hearts.
What a sense of security in an old book which Time has criticised for us!
One day with life and heart
Is more than time enough to find a world.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
