Robert Southey
Ye who dwell at home, Ye do not know the terrors of the main.
Robert Southey

Robert Southey
One fault begets another one crime renders another necessary.
Robert Southey

Robert Southey
Man hath a weary pilgrimage, As through the word he wends On every stage, from youth to age, Still discontent attends.
Robert Southey
The grave is but the threshold of eternity. What a world were this, how unendurable its weight, If they whom death hath sundered, did not meet again!
Robert Southey
A good man and a wise man may at times be angry with the world, at times grieved for it but be sure no man was ever discontented with the world who did his duty in it.
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
Be thankful that your lot has fallen on times when, though there may be many evil tongues and exasperated spirits, there are none who have fire and fagot at command.
Robert Southey
Earth could not hold us both, nor can one heaven Contain my deadliest enemy and me.
Robert Southey
If you would be pungent, be brief.
