But thou liv'st fearless; and thy face ne'er shows
More quotes by Robert Herrick
Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt;
Nothing's so hard but search will find it out.
Thou art a plant sprung up to wither never,
But like a laurel to grow green for ever.
Against diseases here the strongest fence
Is the defensive virtue, abstinence.
If well thou hast begun, go on fore-right;
It is the end that crowns us, not the fight.

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?
