Act, act in the living present!

Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Glorious indeed is the world of God around us, but more glorious the world of God within us.

For his heart was in his work, and the heart
Giveth grace unto every Art.

When thou are not pleased, beloved,
Then my heart is sad and darkened,
As the shining river darkens
When the clouds drop shadows on it!

When thou smilest, my beloved,
Then my troubled heart is brightened,
As in sunshine gleam the ripples
That the cold wind makes in rivers.

Trust no future, howe'er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act, act in the living present! Heart within, and God o'erhead! - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
