“The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight.”
“Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream!” “In the world’s broad field of battle, in the bivouac of Life, be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!” “The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books.” “A_Psalm_of_Life”_is_one_of_his_most_famous_poems. |
