Quotes

  • Give me the boon of Love!   I ask no more for Fame;Far better one unpurchased heart   Than Glory's proudest name.Why wake a fever in the blood,   Or damp the spirit now,To gain a wreath whose leaves shall wave   Above a withered brow?
  • Credulity is perhaps a weakness almost inseparable from eminently truthful characters.
  • There is a policy in manner. I have heard one, not inexperienced in the pursuit of fame, give it his earnest support, as being the surest passport to absolute and brilliant success.
  • There is more or less of pathos in all true beauty. The delight it awakens has an undefinable and, as it were, luxurious sadness, which is perhaps one element of its might. It may be that this feeling springs from a sense of unattained good, of a perfection of being quite at variance with the present, which the beautiful never fails to suggest.
  • There is a strength of quiet endurance as significant of courage as the most daring feats of prowess.
  • For Truth makes holy Love's illusive dreams,And their best promise constantly redeems.
