Beyond this vale of tears
More quotes by James Montgomery
When the good man yields his breath
(For the good man never dies).
'T is not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
You may also like
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.
