Letter "H" » Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes
«People demand freedom only when they have no power.»
«Love gives itself; it is not bought»
«Art is long, and Time is fleeting»
«It is curious to note the old sea-margins of human thought! Each subsiding century reveals some new mystery; we build where monsters used to hide themselves.»
«Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom.»
«Think not because no man sees, such things will remain unseen.»
«The bards sublime, / Whose distant footsteps echo / Through the corridors of Time.»
«The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature /were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.»
