Additional quotes by Wentworth Dillon, 4th Earl of Roscommon

The multitude is always in the wrong.

My God, my Father, and my Friend,
Do not forsake me at my end.

Take pains the genuine meaning to explore,
There sweat, there strain, tug the laborious oar;
Search every comment that your care can find,
Some here, some there, may hit the poet's mind.
