Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Art is long, and Time is fleeting.

There are no birds in last year's nest.

Think of your woods and orchards without birds!
Of empty nests that cling to boughs and beams
As in an idiot's brain remembered words
Hang empty 'mid the cobwebs of his dreams!

Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience he stands waiting, with exactness grinds he all. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
