I love little pussy, her coat is so warm;
And if I don't hurt her she'll do me no harm.

More quotes by Jane Taylor

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!

Far from mortal cares retreating,
Sordid hopes and vain desires,
Here, our willing footsteps meeting,
Every heart to heaven aspires.

Though man a thinking being is defined,
Few use the grand prerogative of mind.
How few think justly of the thinking few!
How many never think, who think they do!

Oh that it were my chief delight
To do the things I ought!
Then let me try with all my might
To mind what I am taught.

I thank the goodness and the grace
Which on my birth have smiled,
And made me in these Christian days,
A happy English child.

And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

Bertrand Russell Marriage and Morals (1929)

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.
