Quotes

• Life is a voyage. The winds of life come strong
  From every point; yet each will speed thy course along,
  If thou with steady hand when tempests blow
  Canst keep thy course aright and never once let go.
  • The Voyage of Life, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

• Death is an angel with two faces:
  To us he turns
  A face of terror, blighting all things fair;
  The other burns
  With glory of the stars, and love is there.
  • A Thanatopsis, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
