Inspirational Quotations by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
- If you would hit the mark,
you must aim a little above it;
every arrow that flies feels the attraction of earth.
- The heights by great men reached and kept,
were not attained by sudden flight;
But they while their companions slept,
were toiling upwards in the night.
- We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing,
while others judge us by what we have already done.
- We see but dimly through the mists and vapors;
Amid these earthly damps
What seem to us but sad, funeral tapers
May be heaven's distant lamps.
