It is not for man to rest in absolute contentment. He is born to hopes and aspirations as the sparks fly upward, unless he has brutalized his nature and quenched the spirit of immortality which is his portion.
Robert SoutheyA good man and a wise man may at times be angry with the world, at times grieved for it; but be sure no man was ever discontented with the world who did his duty in it.
Robert SoutheyNot where I breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but where I am, I die.
Robert SoutheyThree things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day, And woman's plighted faith.
