Henry Wadsworth Longfellow híres idézetei

„A kitartás a siker nagy eleme. Ha elég sokáig és hangosan kopogtatsz a kapun, biztosan felébresztesz valakit.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

„Minden embernek vannak titkos bánatai, amelyeket a világ nem ismer; gyakran hidegnek hívunk egy embert, amikor csak szomorú.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

„A zene az emberiség egyetemes nyelve - a költészet egyetemes időtöltése és öröme.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

„Ha beláthatnánk ellenségeink lelkébe, annyi szomorúságot és szenvedést találnánk, hogy megenyhülnénk irányukban.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

„Aki tiszteli önmagát, az biztonságban van másoktól; olyan páncélt visel, amelyet senki sem tud áttörni.”

And the flowers that grow between.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Forrás: Kavanagh: A Tale (1849), Chapter 30.

“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother's face,
Her aspect and her attitude,
All her majestic loveliness
Chastened and softened and subdued
Into a more attractive grace,
And with a human sense imbued.
He is the greatest artist, then,
Whether of pencil or of pen,
Who follows Nature.”

If it enrich not the heart of another, its waters, returning
Back to their springs, like the rain, shall fill them full of refreshment;
That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain.”

“There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion
that if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble
Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret,
Spilled on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.”

“Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.”
