More quotes by Charles Godfrey Leland

Love leads to present rapture,—then to pain;
But all through Love in time is healed again.

The brave deserve the lovely—every woman may be won.

Thought is the measure of life.

As the world the world hath seen,
Then it were better for the world
That the world had never been.
