Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Simplicity in character, in manners, in style; in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity.

Thy fate is the common fate of all; into each life some rain must fall.

Intelligence and courtesy not always are combined; often in a wooden house a golden room we find.

They who go Feel not the pain of parting; it is they Who stay behind that suffer.

The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.

The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books.

The human voice is the organ of the soul.

Music is the universal language of mankind.

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.

Youth comes but once in a lifetime.

The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.

In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.

Into each life some rain must fall.

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.
