Quotes
All's love, yet all's law.
'Tis not what a man does which exalts him, but what man would do!
How good is man's life, the mere living! how fit to employ
All the heart and the soul and the senses forever in joy!
All the heart and the soul and the senses forever in joy!
God made all the creatures, and gave them our love and our fear,
To give sign we and they are his children, one family here.
To give sign we and they are his children, one family here.
