For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue. - [Hero Worship] True art is but the anti-type of nature; the embodiment of discovered beauty in utility. - [Art] We hold reunions, not for the dead, for there is nothing in all the earth that you and I can do for the dead.

They do not need us, but forever and forever more we need them. - [Dead] Whatever I may believe in theology, I do not believe in the doctrine of vicarious atonement in politics. - [Politics] When the Divine Artist would produce a poem, He plants a germ of it in a human soul, and out of that soul the poem springs and grows as from the rose-tree the rose. - [Poetry] Wherever a ship ploughs the sea, or a plough furrows the field; wherever a mine yields its treasure; wherever a ship or a railroad train carries freight to market; wherever the smoke of the furnace rises, or the clang of the loom resounds; even in the lonely garret where the seamstress plies her busy needle--there is industry. - [Industry] You and I are now nearly in middle age, and have not yet become soured and shrivelled with the wear and tear of life. Let us pray to be delivered from that condition where life and nature have no fresh, sweet sensations for us. - [Life] Tortured for the Republic. [Lat., Strangulatus pro republica.] - Last Words, written as he was dying [Last Words : Martyrdom] Displaying page 3 of 3 for this author: << Prev 1 2 [3]
