It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions; they have their place in heaven also.
Robert SoutheyIt is with words as with sunbeams - the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.
Robert SoutheyOrder is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. As the beams to a house, as the bones to the microcosm of man, so is order to all things.
Robert SoutheyHow beautiful is night! A dewy freshness fills the silent air; No mist obscures; nor cloud, nor speck, nor stain, Breaks the serene of heaven: In full-orbed glory, yonder moon divine Rolls through the dark blue depths; Beneath her steady ray The desert circle spreads Like the round ocean, girdled with the sky. How beautiful is night!
