Letter "W" » William Cowper Quotes
«The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.»
«The path of sorrow and that path alone, leads to a land where sorrow is unknown.»
Author: William Cowper
(Poet)
«A fretful temper will divide the closest knot that may be tied, by ceaseless sharp corrosion; a temper passionate and fierce may suddenly your joys disperse at one immense explosion.»
«Candid and generous and just. Boys care but little whom they trust. An error soon corrected -- for who but learns in riper years. That man, when smoothest he appears, is most to be suspected?»
«Remorse, the fatal egg that pleasure laid.»
«The busy trifler dreams himself alone, / Frames many a purpose, and God works his own.»
«Mortals, whose pleasures are their only care,/ First wish to be imposed on, and then are.»
Author: William Cowper
(Poet)
«Pernicious weed! whose scent the fair annoys, / Unfriendly to society's chief joys, / Thy worst effect is banishing for hours / The sex whose presence civilizes ours.»
«The dinner waits, and we are tired: / Said Gilpin - So am I!»
«And, of all lies (be that one poet's boast) / The lie that flatters I abhor the most.»
