Additional quotes by James Russell Lowell

He who is firmly seated in authority soon learns to think security, and not progress, the highest lesson of statecraft.

There comes Emerson first, whose rich words, every one,
Are like gold nails in temples to hang trophies on;
Whose prose is grand verse while his verse the Lord knows
Is some of it pr— No, 't is not even prose!

An appeal to the reason of the people has never been known to fail in the long run.

For though he builds glorious temples, 'tis odd He leaves never a doorway to get in a god. - James Russell Lowell
