Yes, social friend, I love thee well,
More quotes by Charles Sprague
Through life’s dark road his sordid way he wends,
An incarnation of fat dividends.
Lo where the stage, the poor, degraded stage,
Holds its warped mirror to a gaping age.
Behold! in Liberty’s unclouded blaze
We lift our heads, a race of other days.
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.
