More quotes by Matthew Prior
From ignorance our comfort flows.
The only wretched are the wise.
They never taste who always drink;
They always talk who never think.
Who breathes must suffer, and who thinks must mourn;
And he alone is bless'd who ne'er was born.

The worker is the slave of capitalist society, the female worker is the slave of that slave.
To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal.
