Quotes by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele
“ When men are easy in their circumstances, they are naturally enemies to innovations. ”
“ Though her mien carries much more invitation than command, to behold her is an immediate check to loose behavior; to love her is a liberal education. ”
“ For wheresoe'er I turn my ravished eyes,
Gay gilded scenes and shining prospects rise,
Poetic fields encompass me around,
And still I seem to tread on classic ground. ”
“ Music religious heat inspires,
It wakes the soul, and lifts it high,
And wings it with sublime desires,
And fits it to bespeak the Deity. ”
“ Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. ”
“ When hosts of foes with foes engage,
And round th' anointed hero rage,
The cleaving fauchion I misguide,
And turn the feather'd shaft aside. ”
“ Arguments out of a pretty mouth are unanswerable. ”
“ There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country. ”
“ On you, my lord, with anxious fear I wait,
And from your judgment must expect my fate. ”
“ The man resolved, and steady to his trust,
Inflexible to ill, and obstinately just,
May the rude rabble's insolence despise,
Their senseless clamours and tumultuous cries;
The tyrant's fierceness he beguiles,
And the stern brow, and the harsh voice defies,
And with superior greatness smiles. ”
“ When I read the several dates of the tombs, of some that died yesterday, and some six hundred years ago, I consider that great day when we shall all of us be contemporaries, and make our appearance together. ”
“ Should the whole frame of Nature round him break,
In ruin and confusion hurled,
He, unconcerned, would hear the mighty crack,
And stand secure amidst a falling world. ”
“ Music, the greatest good that mortals know,
And all of heaven we have below. ”
“ When time itself shall be no more,
And all things in confusion hurl'd,
Music shall then exert it's power,
And sound survive the ruins of the world:
Then saints and angels shall agree
In one eternal jubilee:
All Heaven shall echo with their hymns divine,
And God himself with pleasure see
The whole creation in a chorus join. ”
“ Let echo, too, perform her part,
Prolonging every note with art;
And in a low expiring strain,
Play all the concert o'er again. ”
