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.

Life could not be lived wet, whether it be in rain or tears.
In much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Every joy that some experience is paid for by the sorrow of others.
