Recompense Quotes
Public esteem is the recompense of honest men.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
William Hazlitt
Carve not upon a stone when I am dead, The praises which remorseful mourners give; To women's graves - a tardy recompense, But speak them while I live.
Elizabeth Chase Allen
Friends are a recompense for all the woes of the darkest pages of life.
Elizabeth Keckley
Love is alone sufficient by itself, it pleases by itself and for it's own sake. It is itself a merit, and itself it's own recompense. It seeks neither cause, nor consequences beyond itself. It is its own fruit, its own object and usefulness. I love because I love you, I love that I may love.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Backward, flow backward, O tide of the years!I am so weary of toil and of tears,-Toil without recompense, tears all in vain!Take them, and give me my childhood again!
Elizabeth Chase Allen
