Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

Good at a fight, but better at a play;
Godlike in giving, but the devil to pay.

No, the heart that has truly lov'd never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close;
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets
The same look which she turn'd when he rose.

The minds of some of our statesmen, like the pupil of the human eye, contract themselves the more, the stronger light there is shed upon them.

Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, Grow pure by being purely shone upon. - Thomas Moore
