Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

But there's nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream.

Faintly as tolls the evening chime,
Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time.

I knew, by the smoke that so gracefully curl'd
Above the green elms, that a cottage was near;
And I said, "If there's peace to be found in the world,
A heart that was humble might hope for it here."
