Additional quotes by Thomas Gray

Brushing with hasty steps the dews away, To meet the sun upon the upland lawn.

Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

Not all that tempts your wandering eyes And heedless hearts, is lawful prize; Nor all that glisters gold.

Alas, regardless of their doom, The little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come, Nor care beyond today. - Thomas Gray
