O reputation! dearer far than life.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Large charity doth never soil,...

Large charity doth never soil, but only whitens soft white hands.

All that hath been majestical
In life or death, since time began,
Is native in the simple heart of all,
The angel heat of man.

Comparative criticism teaches ...

Comparative criticism teaches us that moral and aesthetic defects are more nearly related than is commonly supposed.

James Lowell 598 quotes

The realm of death seems an en...

The realm of death seems an enemy's country to most men, on whose shores they are loathly driven by stress of weather; to the wise man it is the desired port where he moors his bark gladly, as in some quiet haven of the Fortunate Isles; it is the golden west into which his sun sinks, and, sinking, casts back a glory upon the leaden cloud-tack which had darkly besieged his day.

James Lowell 598 quotes

We look at death through the cheap-glazed windows of the flesh, and believe him the monster which the flawed and cracked glass represents him.

James Lowell 598 quotes

The New World's sons from England's breast we drew
Such milk as bids remember whence we came,
Proud of her past wherefrom our future grew,
This window we inscribe with Raleigh's fame.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Evil is a far more cunning and persevering propagandist than good, for it has no inward strength, and is driven to seek countenance and sympathy.

To fail at all is to fail utterly.

James Lowell 598 quotes

It is not without reason that ...

It is not without reason that fame is awarded only after death. The cloud-dust of notoriety which follows and envelops the men who drive with the wind bewilders contemporary judgment.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Fashion being the art of those...

Fashion being the art of those who must purchase notice at some cheaper rate than that of being beautiful, loves to do rash and extravagant things. She must be forever new, or she becomes insipid.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Who is it needs such flawless ...

Who is it needs such flawless shafts as fate? What archer of his arrows is so choice, or hits the white so surely?

James Lowell 598 quotes

Be He nowhere else, God is in ...

Be He nowhere else, God is in all that liberates and lifts, in all that humbles, sweetens, and consoles.

James Lowell 598 quotes

God's livery is a very plain one; but its wearers have good reason to be content. If it have not so much gold-lace about it as Satan's, it keeps out foul weather better, and is besides a great deal cheaper.

James Lowell 598 quotes

While tenderness of feeling an...

While tenderness of feeling and susceptibility to generous emotions are accidents of temperament, goodness is an achievement of the will and a quality of the life.

James Lowell 598 quotes

The very gnarliest and hardest...

The very gnarliest and hardest of hearts has some musical strings in it; but they are tuned differently in every one of us.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Imagination, where it is truly...

Imagination, where it is truly creative, is a faculty, and not a quality; it looks before and after, it gives the form that makes all the parts work together harmoniously toward a given end, its seat is in the higher reason, and it is efficient only as a servant of the will. Imagination, as it is too often misunderstood, is mere fantasy, the image-making power, common to all who have the gift of dreams.

James Lowell 598 quotes

The riches of scholarship, the...

The riches of scholarship, the benignities of literature, defy fortune and outlive calamity. They are beyond the reach of thief or moth or rust. As they cannot be inherited, so they cannot, be alienated.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Life is constantly weighing us...

Life is constantly weighing us in very sensitive scales, and telling every one of us precisely what his real weight is to the last grain of dust.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Love lives on, and hath a power to bless when they who loved are hidden in the grave.
