James Russell Lowell3 quotes
And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days. — James Russell Lowell · 1848Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side. — James Russell Lowell · 1845And I honor the man who is willing to sink
Half his present repute for the freedom to think,
And, when he has thought, be his cause strong or weak,
Will risk t' other half for the freedom to speak. — James Russell Lowell · 1848
