Additional quotes by William Cowper

Slaves cannot breathe in England; if their lungs Receive our air, that moment they are free! They touch our country, and their shackles fall.

How various his employments whom the world Calls idle, and who justly in return Esteems that busy world an idler too!

I sing the Sofa. I, who lately sang
Truth, Hope, and Charity, and touch'd with awe
The solemn chords, and with a trembling hand,
Escap'd with pain from that advent'rous flight,
Now seek repose upon an humbler theme.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for his grace, behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. - William Cowper
