Matthew Prior Quotes

When people once are in the wrong, each line they add is much too long; who fastest walks, but walks astray, is only furthest from his way Picture Quote #1

For when one’s proofs are aptly chosen, four are as valid as four down Picture Quote #1

Now fitted the halter, now traversed the cart, and often took leave, but was loth to depart Picture Quote #1

So much his courage and his mercy strive, he wounds to cure, and conquers to forgive Picture Quote #1

View not this spire by measure given, to buildings raised by common hands; that fabric rises high as heaven, whose basis on devotion stands Picture Quote #1

And when obedient nature, knows his will, a fly, a grapestone, or a hair can kill Picture Quote #1

The winds grow high; impending tempests charge the sky; the lightning flies, the thunder roars; and big waves lash the frightened shores Picture Quote #1

Fantastic tyrant of the amorous heart. How hard thy yoke, how cruel thy dart. Those escape your anger who refuse your sway, and those are punished most, who most obey Picture Quote #1

No penance can absolve out guilty fame; nor tears, that wash out sin, can wash out shame Picture Quote #1
