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
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
