Greek proverb quotes
I Like this quote I dislike this quote“Hence jarring sectaries may learn
Their real interest to discern;
That brother should not war with brother,
And worry and devour each other;
But sing and shine by sweet consent,
Till life's poor transient night is spent,
Respecting in each other's case
The gifts of nature and of grace.”
William Cowper (English Poet One of the most widely read English poets of his day, 1731-1800)
