Born on this date in 1774 was Robert Southey, a poet of the Romantic school, one of the so-called "Lake Poets", and Poet Laureate for 30 years. 10 quotes from him:
- No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.
- If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams – the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.
- Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life.
- What will not woman, gentle woman dare; when strong affection stirs her spirit up?
- A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden.
- Never let a man imagine that he can pursue a good end by evil means, without sinning against his own soul. The evil effect on himself is certain.
- One fault begets another; one crime renders another necessary.
- Earth could not hold us both, nor can one heaven Contain my deadliest enemy and me.
- Happy it were for us all if we bore prosperity as well and as wisely as we endure adverse fortune.
- Some people seem born with a head in which the thin partition that divides great wit from folly is wanting.
