James Russell Lowell Quotes

New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth;They must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of TruthLo, before us gleam her camp-fires! we ourselves must Pilgrims be,Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea,Nor attempt the Future’s portal with the Past’s blood-rusted key.
