Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night's repose.

This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.

The exaltation, the divine
Insanity of noble minds,
That never falters nor abates,
But labors and endures and waits,
Till all that it foresees it finds
Or what it can not find creates.
