On parent knees, a naked new-born child, Weeping thou sat'st while all around thee smiled So live, that sinking in thy last long sleep, Calm thou mayst smile, while all around thee weep.
William Scott, 1st Baron Stowell

More quotes by William Scott, 1st Baron Stowell
What constitutes a state? . . . . . . . Men who their duties know, But know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain. . . . . . . . And sovereign law, that state's collected will, O'er thrones and globes elate, Sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.
William Scott, 1st Baron Stowell
A dinner lubricates business.
