Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Ye have slept on the ground before, And started to your feet At the cannon’s sudden roar, Or the drum’s redoubling beat. But in this camp of Death No sound your slumber breaks; Here is no fevered breath, No wound that bleeds and aches.

Ah, nothing is too late
Till the tired heart shall cease to palpitate.

Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, without fear, and with a manly heart.

The purpose of that apple tree is to grow a little new wood each year. That is what I plan to do. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
