Additional quotes by John Greenleaf Whittier

"For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: "It might have been!

The harp at Nature's advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.

And still we love the evil cause
And of the just effect complain;
We tread upon life's broken laws
And murmur at our self-inflicted pain.

We seemed to see our flag unfurled, Our champion waiting in his place For the last battle of the world, The Armageddon of the race. - John Greenleaf Whittier
