James Russell Lowell
-
As life runs on, the road grows strange with faces new - and near the end. The milestones into headstones change, Neath every one a friend.
-
Death is delightful. Death is dawn, The waking from a weary night Of fevers unto truth and light.
-
One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.
-
The only faith that wears well and holds its color in all weathers is that which is woven of conviction and set with the sharp mordant of experience.
-
Not failure, but low aim, is crime.
