Quotes About More Than Coarser
Wisdom is a fox who, after long hunting, will at last cost you the pains to dig out; it is a cheese, which, by how much the richer, has the thicker, the homlier, and the coarser coat; and whereof to a judicious palate, the maggots are best. It is a sack posset, wherein the deeper you go, you'll find it the sweeter. Wisdom is a hen, whose cackling we must value and consider, because it is attended with an egg. But lastly, it is a nut, which, unless you choose with judgment, may cost you a tooth, and pay you with nothing but a worm.

Drink has shed more blood, hung more crepe, sold more homes, plunged more people into bankruptcy, armed more villains, slain more children, snapped more wedding rings, defiled more innocence, blinded more eyes, dethroned more reason, wrecked more manhood, dishonored more womanhood, broken more hearts, blasted more lives, driven more to suicide and dug more graves than any other evil that has cursed the world.

A few more years shall roll,A few more seasons come;And we shall be with those that rest,Asleep within the tomb.A few more storms shall beatOn this wild rocky shore;And we shall be where tempests cease,And surges swell no more.A few more struggles here,A few more partings o'er,A few more toils, a few more tears,And we shall weep no more.Then, O my Lord, prepareMy soul for that blest day;Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood,And take my sins away.
