More quotes by 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

George Crabbe

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

George Crabbe

George Crabbe

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.
George Crabbe
Virtues neglected then, adored become, And graces slighted, blossom on the tomb.
George Crabbe
See Time has touched me gently in his race, And left no odious furrows in my face.
George Crabbe
Dreams are like portraits and we find they please because they are confessed resemblances.
George Crabbe
Against her foes Religion well defends Her sacred truths, but often fears her friends.
George Crabbe
Life is not measured by the time we live.
George Crabbe
The coward never on himself relies, But to an equal for assistance flies.
George Crabbe
Soldiers in arms! Defenders of our soil! Who from destruction save us who from spoil Protect the sons of peace, who traffic or who toil Would I could duly praise you, that each deed Your foe's might honor, and your friends might read.
George Crabbe
