More quotes by Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton
A man’s best things are nearest him,
Lie close about his feet.
But on and up, where Nature’s heart
Beats strong amid the hills.
I always thought a tinge of blue
Improved a charming woman's stocking.
Grand Thoughts that never can be wearied out,
Showing the unreality of Time.
They who have steeped their souls in prayer
Can every anguish calmly bear.

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.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
