John Greenleaf Whittier
7 quotations
When faith is lost, when honor dies, the man is dead.
One brave deed makes no hero.
Peace hath higher tests of manhood than battle ever knew.
For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been!
Clothe with life the weak intent, let me be the thing I meant.
Beauty seen is never lost, God's colors all are fast.
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
