Quotations By John Greenleaf Whittier


Duty
Simply duty hath no place for fear.

Earth
The green earth sends her incense up. From many a mountain shrine; From folded leaf and dewey cup She pours her sacred wine.

Faith
When faith is lost, when honor dies, the man is dead.

Learning
Unknown to her the rigid rule, The dull restraint, the chiding frown The weary torture of the school, The taming of wild nature down.
