Letter "T" » Temperance
"And he that will to bed go sober,
Falls with the leaf still in October."
Author: Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher
About: Temperance
"Of a nature so mild and benign and proportioned to the human
constitution as to warm without heating, to cheer but not
inebriate. (Tar Water.)"
Author: Bishop George Berkeley
About: Temperance
"Call'd to the temple of impure delight
He that abstains, and he alone, does right.
If a wish wander that way, call it home;
He cannot long be safe whose wishes roam."
Author: William Cowper
About: Temperance
"Temp'rate in every place–abroad, at home,
Thence will applause, and hence will profit come;
And health from either–he in time prepares
For sickness, age, and their attendant cares."
Author: George Crabbe
About: Temperance
"Abstinence is whereby a man refraineth from any thyng which he
may lawfully take."
Author: Sir Thomas Elyot
About: Temperance
"Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame,
When once it is within thee; but before
Mayst rule it, as thou list: and pour the shame,
Which it would pour on thee, upon the floor.
It is most just to throw that on the ground,
Which would throw me there, if I keep the round."
Author: George Herbert
About: Temperance
"Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult."
Author: Samuel Johnson
About: Temperance
"Of my merit
On that pint you yourself may jedge:
All is, I never drink no sperit,
Nor I haint never signed no pledge."
Author: James Russell Lowell
About: Temperance
"If all the world
Should in a pet of temp'rance, feed on pulse,
Drink the clear stream, and nothing wear but frieze,
Th' All-giver would be unthank'd, would be unprais'd."
Author: John Milton
About: Temperance
"Impostor; do not charge most innocent Nature,
As if she would her children should be riotous
With her abundance; she, good cateress,
Means her provision only to the good,
That live according to her sober laws,
And holy dictate of spare temperance."
Author: John Milton
