More From Nathaniel Hawthorne
- "Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
- "We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death."
- "The greatest obstacle to being heroic is the doubt whether one may not be going to prove one’s self a fool; the truest heroism is to resist the doubt; and the profoundest wisdom, to know when it ought to be resisted, and when it be obeyed."
