Pity's akin to love; and every thought
More quotes by Thomas Southerne
Of the king's creation you may be; but he who makes a count ne'er made a man.
'Tis something to be willing to commend;
But my best praise is, that I am your friend.
You may also like
O, brother man! fold to thy heart thy brother;
where pity dwells, the peace of God is there.
The craving for sympathy is the common boundary-line between joy and sorrow.
