More quotes by Robert Southey
One fault begets another one crime renders another necessary.
Robert Southey
Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.
Robert Southey
I cannot believe in an eternity of hell. I hope God will forgive me if I err but in this matter I cannot say, Lord help my unbelief.
Robert Southey
Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life.
Robert Southey
Whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that is sin to you, however, innocent it may be in itself.
Robert Southey

Robert Southey
Cupid the little greatest god.
Robert Southey
In the days of my youth I remembered my God! And He hath not forgotten my age.
Robert Southey
They sin who tell us love can die With life all other passions fly, All others are but vanity. Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth From heaven it came, to heaven returneth. It soweth here with toil and care, But the harvest-time of love is there.
Robert Southey
There is a magic in that little world, home it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never know beyond its hallowed limits.
Robert Southey
The solitary Bee Whose buzzing was the only sound of life, Flew there on restless wing, Seeking in vain one blossom where to fix.
Robert Southey
A man may be cheerful and contented in celibacy, but I do not think he can ever be happy it is an unnatural state, and the best feelings of his nature are never called into action.
Robert Southey
Ye who dwell at home, Ye do not know the terrors of the main.
Robert Southey
There is another world for all that live and move-a better one!
Robert Southey
For society, of all places I have ever been, Norwich is the best.
Robert Southey
And when my own Mark Antony Against young Caesar strove, And Rome's whole world was set in arms, The cause was,--all for love.
Robert Southey
Without religion the highest endowments of intellect can only render the possessor more dangerous if he be ill disposed if well disposed, only more unhappy.
Robert Southey
Three things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day, And woman's plighted faith.
Robert Southey
Faith in the hereafter is as necessary for the intellectual as the moral character and to the man of letters, as well as to the Christian, the present forms but the slightest portion of his existence.
Robert Southey
Earth could not hold us both, nor can one heaven Contain my deadliest enemy and me.
Robert Southey
