926 Quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Life like an empty dream flits by.

And in the wreck of noble lives Something immortal still survives.

Were a star quenched on high,For ages would its light,Still travelling downward from the sky,Shine on our mortal sight. So when a great man dies,For years beyond our ken,The light he leaves behind him liesUpon the paths of men.

No endeavour is in vain; Its reward is in the doing.

Build me straight. O worthy Master! Staunch and strong, a goodly vessel That shall laugh at all disaster, And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!

Burn, O evening hearth, and waken Pleasant visions, as of old! Though the house by winds be shaken, Safe I keep this room of gold!

And when she was good she was very very good. But when she was bad she was horrid.
