Longfellow

Famous quotes containing the word longfellow:

    Men of genius are often dull and inert in society; as the blazing meteor, when it descends to earth, is only a stone.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    Oh, fear not in a world like this,
    And thou shalt know erelong,
    Know how sublime a thing it is
    To suffer and be strong.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
    “God is not dead; nor doth He sleep;
    The wrong shall fail,
    The right prevail,
    With peace on earth, good will to men.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
