More quotes by Robert Southey

Robert Southey

Robert Southey
My name is Death: the last best friend am I.
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
What will not woman, gentle woman dare when strong affection stirs her spirit up?
Robert Southey
All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things.
Robert Southey
One fault begets another one crime renders another necessary.
Robert Southey
There is another world for all that live and move-a better one!
Robert Southey
By writing much, one learns to write well.
Robert Southey
If you would be pungent, be brief.
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
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.
