The mind is free, whate’er afflict the man,
More quotes by Michael Drayton
Ill news hath wings, and with the wind doth go,
Comfort’s a cripple and comes ever slow.
For that fine madness still he did retain
Which rightly should possess a poet’s brain.
You brave heroic minds
Worthy your country’s name,
That honour still pursue;
Go and subdue!
You may also like
In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.
O Fortune, cruellest of heavenly powers,
Why make such game of this poor life of ours?
