When I could not sleep for cold
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.

There is an inverse relationship between imagination and money.
