More quotes by Robert Southey
Thou hast been called, O sleep! the friend of woe;
But ’tis the happy that have called thee so.
Curses are like young chickens, they always come home to roost.
Affliction is not sent in vain, young man,
From that good God, who chastens whom he loves.
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.
