Additional quotes by James Russell Lowell

Not only around our infancy
Doth heaven with all its splendors lie;
Daily, with souls that cringe and plot,
We Sinais climb and know it not.

There never yet was flower fair in vain.

Great truths are portions of the soul of man;
Great souls are portions of eternity.

All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action. - James Russell Lowell
