History is clarified experience.

James Lowell 598 quotes

The true historical genius, to our thinking, is that which can see the nobler meaning of events that are near him, as the true poet is he who detects the divine in the casual; and we somewhat suspect the depth of his insight into the past who cannot recognize the godlike of to-day under that disguise in which it always visits us.

The green grass floweth like a stream
Into the oceans's blue.

James Lowell 598 quotes

There are two kinds of genius....

There are two kinds of genius. The first and highest may be said to speak out of the eternal to the present, and must compel its age to understand it; the second understands its age, and tells it what it wishes to be told.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Fastidiousness is only another...

Fastidiousness is only another word for egotism; and all men who know not where to look for truth save in the narrow well of self will find their own image at the bottom, and mistake it for what they are seeking.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Faith in God, faith in man, fa...

Faith in God, faith in man, faith in work: this is the short formula in which we may sum up the teachings of the founders of New England,--a creed ample enough for this life and the next.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Enthusiasm begets enthusiasm, eloquence produces conviction for the moment; but it is only by truth to Nature and the everlasting institutions of mankind that those abiding influences are won that enlarge from generation to generation.

The opening of the first grammar school was the opening of the first trench against monopoly in Church and State.

Year by year, more and more of the world gets disenchanted. Even the icy privacy of the arctic and antarctic circles is invaded. We have played Jack Horner with our earth, till there is never a plum left in it.

If the devil take a less hateful shape to us than to our fathers, he is as busy with us as with them.

Christ was the first true democrat that ever breathed, as the old dramatist Dekkar said he was the first true gentleman.

James Lowell 598 quotes

A father of the church said that property was theft, many centuries before Proudhon was born. Bourdaloue reaffirmed it. Montesquieu was the inventor of national workshops and of the theory that the state owed every man a living. Nay, was not the church herself the first organized democracy?

There is something solid and doughty in the man that can rise from defeat, the stuff of which victories are made in due time, when we are able to choose our position better, and the sun is at our back.

And what they dare to dream of, date to do.

Many-sidedness of culture makes our vision clearer and keener in particulars.

Of my merit On that pint you yourself may jedge: All is, I never drink no sperit, Nor I haint never signed no pledge.

The Don Quixote of one generation may live to hear himself called the savior of society by the next.

Our seasons have no fixed returns, Without our will they come and go; At noon our sudden summer burns, Ere sunset all is snow.
