Additional quotes by James Thomson

Cruel as death, and hungry as the grave.

The best of men have ever loved repose: They hate to mingle in the filthy fray;
Where the soul sours, and gradual rancour grows, Imbitter'd more from peevish day to day.

A lucky chance, that oft decides the fate
Of mighty monarchs.
