Additional quotes by Nathaniel Cotton

Thus hand in hand through life we'll go;
Its checker'd paths of joy and woe
With cautious steps we'll tread

To be resign'd when ills betide,
Patient when favours are deni'd,
And pleas'd with favours given,—
Dear Chloe, this is wisdom's part;
This is that incense of the heart
Whose fragrance smells to heaven.

How great his theft, who robs himself!

Yet still we hug the dear deceit. - Nathaniel Cotton
