Additional quotes by William Cowper

Knowledge dwells in heads replete with thoughts of other men; wisdom in minds attentive to their own.

Be trusted with the Lord.
Wait for His seasonable aid,
And though it tarry, wait:
The promise may be long delay'd,
But cannot come too late.

From reveries so airy, from the toil Of dropping buckets into empty wells, And growing old in drawing nothing up.
