Additional quotes by John Greenleaf Whittier

So, closing his heart, the Judge rode on, And Maud was left in the field alone. But the lawyers smiled that afternoon, When he hummed in court an old love-tune.

Who never wins can rarely lose,
Who never climbs as rarely falls.

And sweet and far as from a star, replied a voice which shall not cease, till drowning all the noise of war, it sings the blessed song of peace - John Greenleaf Whittier
