Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

Though an angel should write, still 't is devils must print.

And the best of all ways
To lengthen our days
Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!

Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
Where cold and unhonour'd his relics are laid.

To sigh, yet feel no pain; To weep, yet scarce know why; To sport an hour with Beauty's chain, Then throw it idly by. - Thomas Moore
