And thus to journey on!

Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Resolve, and thou art free. But breathe the air
Of mountains, and their unapproachable summits
Will lift thee to the level of themselves.

Joy, temperance, and repose, slam the door on the doctor's nose.

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

O holy trust! O endless sense of rest! Like the beloved John To lay his head upon the Saviour's breast, And thus to journey on! - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
