Additional quotes by W. H. Davies

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

People are not to be blamed for their doubts, but that they make no effort to arrive at the truth.

They sniffed, poor things, for their green fields,
They cried so loud I could not sleep:
For fifty thousand shillings down
I would not sail again with sheep.
