Danh ngôn của Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Sứ mệnh: 7)

It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong.
The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.
For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.
If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.
Method is more important than strength, when you wish to control your enemies. By dropping golden beads near a snake, a crow once managed To have a passer-by kill the snake for the beads.
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.
Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.
Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.
The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books.
The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.
Into each life some rain must fall.
It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun.
Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose.
All things must change to something new, to something strange.
Intelligence and courtesy not always are combined; Often in a wooden house a golden room we find.
The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized.
However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure.
Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning - an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.
Youth comes but once in a lifetime.
The counterfeit and counterpart of Nature is reproduced in art.
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.
Music is the universal language of mankind.
Therefore trust to thy heart, and to what the world calls illusions.
The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.
Men of genius are often dull and inert in society; as the blazing meteor, when it descends to earth, is only a stone.
There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.
