The rich are too indolent, the poor too weak, to bear the insupportable fatigue of thinking.
William CowperThose flimsy webs that break as soon as wrought, attain not to the dignity of thought.
William CowperAlas! if my best Friend, who laid down His life for me, were to remember all the instances in which I have neglected Him, and to plead them against me in judgment, where should I hide my guilty head in the day of recompense? I will pray, therefore, for blessings on my friends, even though they cease to be so, and upon my enemies, though they continue such.
William Cowper
