Then to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and 't is prosperous to be just Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside, Doubting in his abject spirit, till his Lord is crucified.
James Russell Lowell

A great part of human suffering has its root in the nature of man, and not in that of his institutions.
James Russell Lowell
Keats longed for fame, but longed above all to deserve it.
James Russell Lowell
No sincere desire of doing good need make an enemy of a single human being that philanthropy has surely a flaw in it which cannot sympathize with the oppressor equally as with the oppressed.
