More quotes by Algernon Charles Swinburne
Life is the lust of a lamp for the light that is dark till the dawn of the day that we die.
My loss may shine yet goodlier than your gain
When time and God give judgment.
Fear that makes faith may break faith; and a fool
Is but in folly stable.
The loves and hours of the life of a man,
They are swift and sad, being born of the sea.

You may also like
To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
