More quotes by 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
Ability comprehends the power of doing in general, without specifying the quality or degree.
George Crabbe
With eye upraised his master's look to scan, The joy, the solace, and the aid of man: The rich man's guardian and the poor man's friend, The only creature faithful to the end.
George Crabbe

George Crabbe
Oh, rather give me commentators plain, Who with no deep researches vex the brain Who from the dark and doubtful love to run, And hold their glimmering tapers to the sun.
George Crabbe

George Crabbe
Old Peter Grimes made fishing his employ His wife he cabined with him and his boy, And seemed that life laborious to enjoy.
George Crabbe

George Crabbe
We cannot heal the throbbing heart till we discern the wounds within.
George Crabbe
Oh how the passions, insolent and strong, Bear our weak minds their rapid course along Make us the madness of their will obey Then die and leave us to our griefs as prey!
George Crabbe
Life's bloomy flush was lost.
George Crabbe
In this wild world the fondest and the best Are the most tried, most troubled and distress'd.
George Crabbe
Against her foes Religion well defends Her sacred truths, but often fears her friends.
George Crabbe
Beauties, when disposed to sleep, Should from the eye of keen inspector keep: The lovely nymph who would her swain surprise, May close her mouth, but not conceal her eyes Sleep from the fairest face some beauty takes, And all the homely features homelier makes.
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
Our farmers round, well pleased with constant gain, like other farmers, flourish and complain.
George Crabbe
Dreams are like portraits and we find they please because they are confessed resemblances.
George Crabbe
There is no mind so weak and powerless as not to have its inclinations, and none so guarded as to be without its prepossessions.
