Quotes by Francis Bret Harte

We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.
And I hear from the outgoing ship in the bay The song of the sailors in glee: So I think of the luminous footprints that bore The comfort o'er dark Galilee, And wait for the signal to go to the shore, To the ship that is waiting for me.
Never a tear bedims the eye that time and patience will not dry.
Never a lip is curved with pain that can't be kissed into smiles again.
