Quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 2

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807-1882, American writer. The best-known 19th-century poet in the United States, he wrote The Song of Hiawatha (1855) and a translation (1865-1867) of Dante's Divine Comedy.

  • Oh, fear not in a world like this,
    And thou shalt know erelong,
    Know how sublime a thing it is
    To suffer and be strong.

  • In the world's broad field of battle,
    In the bivouac of Life,
    Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
    Be a hero in the strife!

  • Were half the power that fills the world with terror,
    Were half the wealth bestowed on camps and courts,
    Given to redeem the human mind from error,
    There would be no need of arsenals nor forts.

  • My own thoughts
    Are my companions; my designs and labors
    And aspirations are my only friends.

  • The Helicon of too many poets is not a hill crowned with sunshine and visited by the Muses and the Graces, but an old, mouldering house, full of gloom and haunted by ghosts.

  • Like a French poem is life; being only perfect in
    structure
    When with the masculine rhymes mingled the
    feminine are.
