Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Music is the universal language of mankind.

However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure.

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.

It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun.

Into each life some rain must fall.

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.
