There is nothing holier in this life of ours than the first consciousness of love, the first fluttering of its silken wings.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowFor his heart was in his work, and the heart giveth grace unto every art.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowIntelligence and courtesy not always are combined; Often in a wooden house a golden room we find.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowThe 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.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
