Famous quotes containing the words russell and/or smith:

    “There is Lowell, who’s striving Parnassus to climb
    With a whole bale of isms tied together with rhyme,
    He might get on alone, spite of brambles and boulders,
    But he can’t with that bundle he has on his shoulders,
    The top of the hill he will ne’er come nigh reaching
    Till he learns the distinction ‘twixt singing and preaching;
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    What joy can the years bring half so sweet as the unhappiness they’ve taken away?
    —Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
