Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The hooded clouds, like friars,
Tell their beads in drops of rain.

Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small;
Though with patience he stands waiting, with exactness grinds he all.

The leaves of memory seemed to make A mournful rustling in the dark

The holiest of all holidays are those Kept by ourselves in silence and apart; The secret anniversaries of the heart. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
