Additional quotes by James Russell Lowell

A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.

Blessed are they who have nothing to say, and who cannot be persuaded to say it.

God makes sech nights, all white an' still,
Fur'z you can look or listen,
Moonshine an' snow on field an' hill,
All silence an' all glisten.
