'T is loving and serving
More quotes by John Sullivan Dwight
Rest is not quitting
The busy career,
Rest is the fitting
Of self to one's sphere.
'T is the brook's motion,
Clear without strife,
Fleeing to ocean
After its life.
Sweet is the pleasure itself cannot spoil.
Is not true leisure one with true toil?

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.
