Additional quotes by Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton

That man is great, and he alone,
Who serves a greatness not his own.

And the jasmin-flower in her fair young breast:
(O the faint, sweet smell of that jasmin-flower!)
And the one bird singing alone in his nest:
And the one star over the tower.

The world is a nettle; disturb it, it stings.
Grasp it firmly, it stings not.
