Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night.

The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
