More quotes by Nathaniel Hawthorne
What is the voice of song when the world lacks the ear of taste?
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Accuracy is twin brother to honesty, and inaccuracy to dishonesty.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne
All brave men love for he only is brave who has affections to fight for, whether in the daily battle of life, or in physical contests.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne
Great men need to be lifted upon the shoulders of the whole world, in order to conceive their great ideas or perform their great deeds. That is, there must be an atmosphere of greatness round about them. A hero cannot be a hero unless in an heroic world.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Such has often been my apathy, when objects long sought, and earnestly desired, were placed within my reach.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The present is burthened too much with the past.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Trusting no man as his friend, he could not recognize his enemy when the latter actually appeared.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Come, therefore, and let us fling mud at them!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The sorrow that lay cold in her mother's heart... converted it into a tomb.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Let the black flower blossom as it may!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
This dull river has a deep religion of its own so, let us trust, has the dullest human soul, though, perhaps, unconsciously.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
