Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
In the long run men hit only what they aim at.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
How like they are to human things!
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.

Fear is the virtue of slaves but the heart that loveth is willing.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
