A Psalm Of Life Quotes

“Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, A Psalm Of Life

“Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, A Psalm Of Life

“Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, A Psalm Of Life
