Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Success is not something to wait for, it is something to work for.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Intelligence and courtesy not always are combined Often in a wooden house a golden room we find.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Simplicity in character, in manners, in style in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity.
