Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

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.

There was a little man, and he had a little soul;
And he said, Little Soul, let us try, try, try!

It is only to the happy that tears are a luxury.
