Robert Southey
There is another world for all that live and move-a better one!
Robert Southey

Robert Southey
O Reader! hast thou eer stood to see The Holly-tree? The eye that contemplates it well perceies Its glossy leaes Ordered by an Intelligence so wise As might confound the Atheist's sophistries.
Robert Southey
Few people give themselves time to be friends.
Robert Southey
Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. As the beams to a house, as the bones to the microcosm of man, so is order to all things.
Robert Southey

Robert Southey
I do not cast my eyes away from my troubles. I pack them in as little compass as I can for myself, and never let them annoy others.
Robert Southey
Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life.
Robert Southey
My name is Death: the last best friend am I.
Robert Southey
Kitten is in the animal world what the rosebud is in the garden the one the most beautiful of all young creatures, the other the loveliest of all opening flowers.
Robert Southey
Ye who dwell at home, Ye do not know the terrors of the main.
