Additional quotes by Edward FitzGerald

Each Morn a thousand Roses brings, you say; Yes, but where leaves the Rose of Yesterday?

Leave well — even 'pretty well' — alone: that is what I learn as I get old.

Whether we wake or we sleep,
Whether we carol or weep,
The Sun with his Planets in chime,
Marketh the going of Time.
