More quotes by 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
Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.
Robert Southey
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.
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
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
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
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
Thou hast been called, O sleep, the friend of woe, But 'tis the happy that have called thee so.
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
A stubborn mind conduces as little to wisdom or even to knowledge, as a stubborn temper to happiness
Robert Southey
Affliction is not sent in vain, young man, from that good God, who chastens whom he loves.
Robert Southey
That charity is bad which takes from independence its proper pride, from mendicity its salutary shame.
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
By writing much, one learns to write well.
Robert Southey
Cupid the little greatest god.
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
Few people give themselves time to be friends.
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
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
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
