Steele Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words steele and/or wrote:

    [A] sullen-wise Man is as bad as a good-natured Fool. Knowledge, softened with Complacency and good Breeding, will make a Man equally beloved and respected; but when joined with a severe, distant and unsociable Temper, it creates rather Fear than Love.
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    I loved, but woman fell away;
    I hid me from her faded fame.
    I snatched the sun’s eternal ray
    And wrote till earth was but a name.
    John Clare (1793–1864)
