| William Cowper
A life of ease is a difficult pursuit. Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed. Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little; we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose. For truth is unwelcome, however divine.God made the country and man made the town. How much a dunce that has been sent to roam, excels a dunce that has been kept at home. I would not enter in my list of friends, Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm. An inadvertent step may crush the snail That crawls at evening in the public path, But he has the humanity, forewarned, Will tread aside, and let the reptile live. Nature is a good name for an effect whose cause is God. No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose. The parson knows enough who knows a Duke. Variety is the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor. |
