Neer Quotes

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land Whose heart hath neer within him burnd, As home his footsteps he hath turnd From wandering on a foreign strand If such there breathe, go mark him well For him no Minstrel raptures swell High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonord, and unsung. (Walter Scott)
She who neer answers till a husband cools, Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules Charms by accepting, by submitting, sways, Yet has her humor most, when she obeys. View quote
Alexander Pope
And he who servilely creeps after sense, Is safe, but neer will reach an excellence. View quote
John Dryden
Tomorrow sees undone, what happens not to-day Still forward press, nor never tire The possible, with steadfast trust, Resolve should be by the forelock grasp. Then she will neer let go her clasp, And labors on, because she must. View quote
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Book of Books Within this ample volume lies The mystery of mysteries. Happiest they of human race To whom their God has given grace To read, to fear, to hope, to pray, To lift the latch, to force the way But better had they neer been born That read to doubt or read to scorn. View quote
Walter Scott
