Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

Whose wit in the combat, as gentle as bright,
Ne'er carried a heart-stain away on its blade.

This world is all a fleeting show,
For man's illusion given;
The smiles of joy, the tears of woe,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow,—
There's nothing true but Heaven.

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

And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers Is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns. - Thomas Moore
