More quotes by William Cowper
Still ending, and beginning still.
William Cowper
I would not have a slave to till my ground, To carry me, to fan me while I sleep, And tremble when I wake, for all the wealth That sinews bought and sold have ever earn'd.
William Cowper
Heaven's harmony is universal love.
William Cowper
... she, that will with kittens jest, Should bear a kitten's joke.
William Cowper
Forced from home, and all its pleasures, afric coast I left forlorn to increase a stranger's treasures, o the raging billows borne. Men from England bought and sold me, paid my price in paltry gold but, though theirs they have enroll'd me, minds are never to be sold.
William Cowper
The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower.
William Cowper
The spleen is seldom felt where Flora reigns The low'ring eye, the petulance, the frown, And sullen sadness, that o'ershade, distort, And mar the face of beauty, when no cause For such immeasurable woe appears These Flora banishes, and gives the fair Sweet smiles, and bloom less transient than her own.
William Cowper
For 'tis a truth well known to most, That whatsoever thing is lost, We seek it, ere it comes to light, In every cranny but the right.
William Cowper
All we behold is miracle.
William Cowper
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
William Cowper
A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun, It gives a light to every age, It gives, but borrows none.
William Cowper
Tea - the cups that cheer but not inebriate.
William Cowper
The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.
William Cowper
He is the freeman whom the truth makes free, And all are slaves besides.
William Cowper
Hast thou not learnd what thou art often told, A truth still sacred, and believed of old, That no success attends on spears and swords Unblest, and that the battle is the Lords?
William Cowper
In indolent vacuity of thought.
William Cowper
Forgot the blush that virgin fears impart To modest cheeks, and borrowed one from art.
William Cowper
Is base in kind, and born to be a slave.
William Cowper
I am out of humanity's reach.I must finish my journey alone,Never hear the sweet music of speechI start at the sound of my own.
William Cowper
Toil for the brave! The brave that are no more.
William Cowper
