More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Aim for the chopping block. if you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. aim past the wood, aim through the wood; aim for the chopping block.
Block Past Woods
The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. the aim of the high is to remain where they are. the aim of the middle is to change places with the high. the aim of the low, when they have an aim-for it is an abiding characteristic of the low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives -is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal.
Men Abiding Groups
Don't aim at success — the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. for success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. i want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. then you will live to see that in the long run — in the long run, i say — success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.
Motivational Running Caring
A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savor of it. let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach.
Strength Wise Hope
Do not get into a fight if you can possibly avoid it. if you get in, see it through. don't hit if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting, but never hit soft. don't hit at all if you can help it; don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep.
Sleep Fighting Men
Don't fall victim to what i call the ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome. you must be willing to fire.

Regret Fall America
The second stage set in ten or fifteen days after the bombing. the main symptom was falling hair. diarrhoea and fever, which in some cases went as high as 106, came next.

Not only will atomic power be released, but someday we will harness the rise and fall of the tides and imprison the rays of the sun.

If you end up falling in love with someone, it's because of them. if you end up hating someone, it's because of you.
