More quotes by James Hogg

Nothing in the world delights a truly religious people so much, as consigning them to eternal damnation.

Man mind yourselve is the first commandment.

Oh, why should vows so fondly made,
Be broken ere the morrow,
To one who loves as never maid
Loved in this world of sorrow?

The Broken Heart (1829)

Where the pools are bright and deep
Where the gray trout lies asleep,
Up the river and o'er the lea
That's the way for Billy and me.

A Boy's Song (1831)
