Be true! Be true! Be true! Sh...

Be true! Be true! Be true! Show freely to the world, if not your worst, yet some trait whereby the worst may be inferred!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

I wonder that we Americans lo...

I wonder that we Americans love our country at all, it having no limits and no oneness; and when you try to make it a matter of the heart, everything falls away except one's native State; -neither can you seize hold of that, unless you tear it out of the Union, bleeding and quivering.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Thus we see, too, in the worl...

Thus we see, too, in the world that some persons assimilate only what is ugly and evil from the same moral circumstances which supply good and beautiful results--the fragrance of celestial flowers--to the daily life of others.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Of all the events which const...

Of all the events which constitute a person's biography, there is scarcely one ... to which the world so easily reconciles itself as to his death.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

In the depths of every heart ...

In the depths of every heart there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the lights, the music, and the revelry above may cause us to forget their existence.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Shall we never never get rid ...

Shall we never never get rid of this Past? ... It lies upon the Present like a giant's dead body.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

As a general rule, Providence...

As a general rule, Providence seldom vouchsafes to mortals any more than just that degree of encouragement which suffices to keep them at a reasonably full exertion of their powers.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

I find myself at the extremit...

I find myself at the extremity of a long beach. How gladly does the spirit leap forth, and suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep! A greeting and a homage to the Sea! I descend over its margin, and dip my hand into the wave that meets me, and bathe my brow. That far-resounding roar is the Ocean’s voice of welcome. His salt breath brings a blessing along with it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Last night, there came a fros...

Last night, there came a frost, which has done great damage to my garden.... It is sad that Nature will play such tricks on us poor mortals, inviting us with sunny smiles to confide in her, and then, when we are entirely within her power, striking us to the heart.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

This dull river has a deep re...

This dull river has a deep religion of its own; so, let us trust, has the dullest human soul, though, perhaps, unconsciously.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It is very singular how the f...

It is very singular how the fact of a man's death often seems to give people a truer idea of his character, whether for good or evil, than they have ever possessed while he was living and acting among them.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

It will startle you to see wh...

It will startle you to see what slaves we are to by-gone times-to Death, if we give the matter the right word! ... We read in Dead Men's books! We laugh at Dead Men's jokes, and cry at Dead Men's pathos! . . . Whatever we seek to do, of our own free motion, a Dead Man's icy hand obstructs us!

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Now are ye undeceived. Evil i...

Now are ye undeceived. Evil is the nature of mankind. Evil must be your only happiness. Welcome again, my children, to the communion of your race.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

My heart was a habitation lar...

My heart was a habitation large enough for many guests, but lonely and chill, and without a household fire. I longed to kindle one! It seemed not so wild a dream.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Never was there a dingier, ug...

Never was there a dingier, uglier, less picturesque city than London ... it is really wonderful that so much brick and stone, for centuries together, should have been built up with so poor a result.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

Death possesses a good deal, ...

Death possesses a good deal, of real estate, namely, the graveyard in every town.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The love of science to rival ...

The love of science to rival the love of woman, in its depth and absorbing energy.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The moment when a man's head ...

The moment when a man's head drops off is seldom or never, I am inclined to think, precisely the most agreeable of his life.

Nathaniel Hawthorne 370 quotes

The Christian faith is a grand cathedral with divinely pictured windows.

The greatest possible mint of style is to make the words absolutely disappear into the thought.
