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.
