If one waits for the right time to come before writing, the right time never comes.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Nature fits all her children with something to do, he who would write and can't write, can surely review.

A wise man travels to discover himself.

Here was a type of the true elder race, And one of Plutarch's men talked with us face to face.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Democracy is nothing more than...

Democracy is nothing more than an experiment in government, more likely to succeed in a new soil, but likely to be tried in all soils, which must stand or fall on its own merits as others have done before it. For there is no trick of perpetual motion in politics any more than in mechanics.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Though old the thought and oft exprest, Tis his at last who says it best.

Not a deed would he do,
Not a word would he utter,
Till he's weighed its relation
To plain bread and butter.

James Lowell 598 quotes

I love her with a love as still As a broad river's peaceful might, Which by high tower and lowly mill, Goes wandering at its own will, And yet does ever flow aright.

James Lowell 598 quotes

All free governments, whatever their name, are in reality governments by public opinion ; and it is on the quality of this public opinion that their prosperity depends. It is, therefore, their first duty to purify the element from which they draw the breath of life.

James Lowell 598 quotes

The first lesson of life is to burn our own smoke; that is, not to inflict on outsiders our personal sorrows and petty morbidness, not to keep thinking of ourselves as exceptional cases.

James Lowell 598 quotes

I willingly confess to so great a partiality for trees as tempts me to respect a man in exact proportion to his respect for them.

The gift without the giver is rare.

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

There is surely room for yet another schoolmaster when a score of seers advertise themselves in Boston newspapers.
