Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

Love in your hearts as idly burns
As fire in antique Roman urns.

And poets by their sufferings grow;
As if there were no more to do,
To make a poet excellent,
But only want and discontent.

Love is a boy by poets styl'd;
Then spare the rod and spoil the child.

Doubtless the pleasure is as great Of being cheated as to cheat. - Samuel Butler
