7300 James Russell Lowell 1819-1891 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7300
AUTHOR:James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
QUOTATION:Then to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and ’t is prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside,
Doubting in his abject spirit, till his Lord is crucified.
ATTRIBUTION:The present Crisis.
