Democracy is that form of society, no matter what its political classification, in which every man has a chance and knows that he has it.

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.

They have rights who dare maintain them.

James Lowell 598 quotes

I love her with a love as stil...

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

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.

A friendship counting nearly forty years is the finest kind of shade-tree I know.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Whoever can endure unmixed del...

Whoever can endure unmixed delight, whoever can tolerate music and painting and poetry all in one, whoever wishes to be rid of thought and to let the busy anvils of the brain be silent for a time, let him read in the 'Faery Queen.'

James Lowell 598 quotes

'Tis sorrow builds the shining...

'Tis sorrow builds the shining ladder up, Whose golden rounds are our calamities, Whereon our firm feet planting, nearer God The spirit climbs, and hath its eyes unsealed. True it is that Death's face seems stern and cold When he is sent to summon those we love; But all God's angels come to us disguised; Sorrow and sickness, poverty and death, One after another, lift their frowning masks, And we behold the Seraph's face beneath, All radiant with the Glory and the calm Of having looked upon the front of God.

James Lowell 598 quotes

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

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.

James Lowell 598 quotes

The first lesson of life is to...

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.

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

It may be glorious to write Thoughts that shall glad the two or three High souls, like those far stars that come in sight Once in a century.

James Lowell 598 quotes

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.

Earth's biggest country 's gut her soul, An' risen up earth's greatest nation.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Some day the soft Ideal that we wooed confronts us fiercely, foe-beset, pursued, and cries reproachful: Was it then my praise, and not myself was loved? Prove now thy truth; I claim of thee the promise of thy youth.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Those who know the truth are n...

Those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it Confucius All truth is safe and nothing else is safe, but he who keeps back truth, or withholds it from men, from motives of expediency, is either a coward or a criminal.
