The pulpit is a clergyman's parade the parish is his field of active service.
Robert Southey
Ye who dwell at home, Ye do not know the terrors of the main.
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
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
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
I can remember, with unsteady feet, Tottering from room to room, and finding pleasure In flowers, and toys, and sweetmeats, things which long Have lost their power to please which when I see them, Raise only now a melancholy wish I were the little trifler once again, Who could be pleas'd so lightly.
Robert Southey
Cupid the little greatest god.
Robert Southey

Robert Southey

Robert Southey
Give me a room whose every nook is dedicated to a book.
Robert Southey

Robert Southey

Robert Southey
By writing much, one learns to write well.
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
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
In the days of my youth I remembered my God! And He hath not forgotten my age.
Robert Southey
Our restlessness in this world seems to indicate that we are intended for a better. We have all of us a longing after happiness and surely the Creator will gratify all the natural desires he has implanted in us.
Robert Southey
Few people give themselves time to be friends.
Robert Southey
If you would be pungent, be brief.
