3 quotes

Converse with men makes sharp the glittering wit,
But God to man doth speak in solitude.

Order is the law of all intelligible existence.

Rocking on a lazy billow
With roaming eyes,
Cushioned on a dreamy pillow,
Thou art now wise.
Wake the power within thee slumbering,
Trim the plot that's in thy keeping,
Thou wilt bless the task when reaping
Sweet labour's prize.
