Let men tremble to win the ha...

Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

As the architecture of a country always follows the earliest structures, American architecture should be a refinement of the log-house. The Egyptian is so of the cavern and the mound; the Chinese, of the tent; the Gothic, of overarching trees; the Greek, of a cabin.

Happiness is like a butterfly - the more you chase, the more subtle, but if you stop moving and quietly wait for it to land on you.

She could no longer borrow from the future to ease her present grief.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Man's own youth is the world'...

Man's own youth is the world's youth; at least he feels as if it were, and imagines that the earth's granite substance is something not yet hardened, and which he can mould into whatever shape he likes.

'What is the Unpardonable Sin' asked the lime-burner 'It is a sin that grew within my own breast', replied Ethan Brand 'The sin of an intellect that triumphed over the sense of brotherhood with man and reverence for God'.

A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air, and hover downward with uncertain flight, now almost alighting on the earth, now whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The washing of dishes does seem to me the most absurd and unsatisfactory business that I ever undertook. If, when once washed, they would remain clean for ever and ever (which they ought in all reason to do, considering how much trouble it is), there would be less occasion to grumble; but no sooner is it done, than it requires to be done again. On the whole, I have come to the resolution not to use more than one dish at each meal.

What is the voice of song when the world lacks the ear of taste?

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is evil in every human heart, which may remain latent, perhaps, through the whole of life; but circumstances may rouse it to activity.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Though we speak nonsense, God will pick out the meaning of it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

There is great incongruity in this idea of monuments, since those to whom they are usually dedicated need no such recognition to embalm their memory; and any man who does, is not worthy of one.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The calmer thought is not alw...

The calmer thought is not always the right thought, just as the distant view is not always the truest view

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The marble keeps merely a cold and sad memory of a man who would else be forgotten. No man who needs a monument ever ought to have one.

Honesty and wisdom are such a delightful pastime, at another person's expense!

Come, therefore, and let us fling mud at them!

What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow.

Let the attempt be made, at whatever risk.

All brave men love; for he only is brave who has affections to fight for, whether in the daily battle of life, or in physical contests.
