More quotes by Jean Ingelow
Is there never a chink in the world above
Where they listen for words from below?
There is nothing so unreasonable as infancy, excepting the maturer stages of life.
If one cannot have success, the next most agreeable thing is failure.
I have lived to thank God that all my prayers have not been answered.
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.
