Additional quotes by James Russell Lowell

In life's small things be resolute and great
To keep thy muscle trained: know'st thou when Fate
Thy measure takes, or when she'll say to thee,
"I find thee worthy; do this deed for me"?

Earth's biggest country 's gut her soul,
An' risen up earth's greatest nation.

Laborin' man an' laborin' woman Hev one glory an' one shame;
Ev'y thin' thet's done inhuman Injers all on 'em the same.
