Edmund Waller Quotes
He that alone would wise and mighty be, Commands that others love as well as he. Love as he lov'd! - How can we soar so high?- He can add wings when he commands to fly. Nor should we be with this command dismay'd; He that examples gives will give his aid: For he took flesh, that where his precepts fall, His practice, as a pattern, may prevail.
