More Quotes By Martin Farquhar Tupper
Look too on this poor planet of ours, Torn by the storms of mysterious powers, Evil contending with good from its birth, Wrenching in battle the heartstrings of earth, – Ah! what infinities circle us here, Strangeness and wonderment swathing the sphere!
Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever.
God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love.
If thou art master to thyself, circumstances shall harm thee little.
