More quotes by William Cowper

Image
E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.
William Cowper
Image
The art of poetry is to touch the passions, and its duty to lead them on the side of virtue.
William Cowper
Image
Vice stings us even in our pleasures, but virtue consoles us even in our pains.
William Cowper
Image
The cares of today are seldom those of tomorrow, and when we lie down at night we may safely say to most of our troubles, Ye have done your worst, and we shall see you no more.
William Cowper
Image
Sacred interpreter of human thought, How few respect or use thee as they ought! But all shall give account of every wrong, Who dare dishonor or defile the tongue Who prostitute it in the cause of vice, Or sell their glory at a market-price!
William Cowper
Image
A man renowned for repartee will seldom scruple to make free with friendship's finest feeling, will thrust a dagger at your breast, and say he wounded you in jest, by way of balm for healing.
William Cowper
Image
Events of all sorts creep or fly exactly as God pleases.
William Cowper
Image
They fix attention, heedless of your pain, With oaths like rivets forced into the brain And e'en when sober truth prevails throughout, They swear it, till affirmance breeds a doubt.
William Cowper
Image
The Frenchman, easy, debonair, and brisk, Give him his lass, his fiddle, and his frisk, Is always happy, reign whoever may, And laughs the sense of mis'ry far away.
William Cowper
Image
Spare feast! a radish and an egg.
William Cowper
Image
No one was ever scolded out of their sins.
William Cowper
Image
Tis Providence alone secures In every change both mine and yours.
William Cowper
Image
Lights of the world, and stars of human race.
William Cowper
Image
Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.
William Cowper
Image
Words learn'd by rote a parrot may rehearse, But talking is not always to converse, Not more distinct from harmony divine The constant creaking of a country sign.
William Cowper
Image
Mountains interposed Make enemies of nations, who had else Like kindred drops been mingled into one.
William Cowper
Image
Trials make the promise sweet, Trials give new life to prayer Trials bring me to His feet, Lay me low, and keep me there.
William Cowper
Image
Far happier are the dead methinks than they who look for death and fear it every day.
William Cowper
Image
Fate steals along with silent tread, Found oftenest in what least we dread Frowns in the storm with angry brow, But in the sunshine strikes the blow.
William Cowper
Image
Though peace be made, yet it's interest that keep peace.
William Cowper
