More quotes by Joseph Addison
Keep up the loud harmonious song,
And imitate the blest above,
In joy, and harmony, and love.
'Tis not in mortals to command success,
But we'll do more, Sempronius; we'll deserve it.
We are growing serious, and,
Let me tell you, that's the very next step to being dull.
Thus I live in the world rather as a spectator of mankind than as one of the species.
You may also like
Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.
Affectation hides three times as many virtues as charity does sins.
O proud philanthropist, your hope is vain
To get by giving what you lost by gain.
