Additional quotes by William Cowper

Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed.

And still to love, though prest with ill, In wintry age to feel no chill, With me is to be lovely still, My Mary!

With spots quadrangular of diamond form, Ensanguined hearts, clubs typical of strife, And spades, the emblems of untimely graves.

'Tis hard if all is false that I advance, A fool must now and then be right by chance. - William Cowper
