Additional quotes by Samuel Garth

I see the right, and I approve it too,
Condemn the wrong, and yet the wrong pursue.

To die is landing on some silent shore
Where billows never break, nor tempests roar;
Ere well we feel the friendly stroke, 'tis o'er.

Some fell by laudanum, and some by steel,
And death in ambush lay in every pill.

Harsh words, though pertinent, uncouth appear: None please the fancy, who offend the ear. - Samuel Garth
