Quotations By James Russell Lowell

Death
We look at death through the cheap-glazed windows of the flesh, and believe him the monster which the flawed and cracked glass represents him.

Endurance
Endurance is the crowning quality, And patience all the passion of great hearts”

Progress
He who is firmly seated in authority soon learns to think security, and not progress, the highest lesson of statecraft. -- James Russell Lowell
