Quotes

  • A barren superfluity of words.
  • To die is landing on some silent shoreWhere billows never break, nor tempests roar;Ere well we feel the friendly stroke, 'tis o'er.
  • Some fell by laudanum, and some by steel,And death in ambush lay in every pill.
  • Harsh words, though pertinent, uncouth appear:None please the fancy, who offend the ear.
  • I see the right, and I approve it too,Condemn the wrong, and yet the wrong pursue.
  • Hard was their lodging, homely was their food;For all their luxury was doing good.
