I saw old Autumn in the misty morn
More quotes by Thomas Hood
But evil is wrought by want of thought,
As well as want of heart.
There's a double beauty whenever a swan
Swims on a lake with her double thereon.
Oh would I were dead now,
Or up in my bed now,
To cover my head now,
And have a good cry!
You may also like
To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
