More quotes by George Crabbe
Dreams are like portraits and we find they please because they are confessed resemblances.
George Crabbe
Whatever amuses, serves to kill time, to lull the faculties, and to banish reflection. Whatever entertains, usually awakens the understanding or gratifies the fancy. Whatever diverts, is lively in its nature, and sometimes tumultuous in its effects.
George Crabbe
Deceivers are the most dangerous members of society. They trifle with the best affections of our nature, and violate the most sacred obligations.
George Crabbe
Our farmers round, well pleased with constant gain, like other farmers, flourish and complain.
George Crabbe
Against her foes Religion well defends Her sacred truths, but often fears her friends.
George Crabbe
To the house of a friend if you're pleased to retire, You must all things admit, you must all things admire You must pay with observance the price of your treat, You must eat what is praised, and must praise what you eat.
George Crabbe
Blest be the gracious Power, who taught mankind To stamp a lasting image of the mind! Beasts may convey, and tuneful birds may sing, Their mutual feelings, in the opening spring But Man alone has skill and power to send The heart's warm dictates to the distant friend 'Tis his alone to please, instruct, advise Ages remote, and nations yet to rise.
George Crabbe
Books cannot always please, however good Minds are not ever craving for their food.
George Crabbe
To show the world what long experience gains, requires not courage, though it calls for pains but at life's outset to inform mankind is a bold effort of a valiant mind.
George Crabbe
Feel you the barren flattery of a rhyme? Can poets soothe you, when you pine for bread, By winding myrtle round your ruin'd shed?
George Crabbe
See Time has touched me gently in his race, And left no odious furrows in my face.
George Crabbe
I grant indeed that fields and flocks have charms, For him that gazes or for him that farms.
George Crabbe
Ability comprehends the power of doing in general, without specifying the quality or degree.
George Crabbe
We cannot heal the throbbing heart till we discern the wounds within.
George Crabbe
Her air, her manners, all who saw admir'd Courteous though coy, and gentle though retir'd The joy of youth and health her eyes display'd, And ease of heart her every look convey'd.
George Crabbe
Learning is better worth than houses or land.
George Crabbe
The coward never on himself relies, But to an equal for assistance flies.
George Crabbe
Through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies, Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy skies The fleecy clouds their chilly bosoms bare, And shed their substance on the floating air.
George Crabbe
Shall he who soars, inspired by loftier views, Life's little cares and little pains refuse? Shall he not rather feel a double share Of mortal woe, when doubly arm'd to bear?
George Crabbe
Lawyers Are: By law's dark by-ways he has stored his mind with wicked knowledge on how to cheat mankind.
