Beschreibung | Thomas Moore (28 May 1779 – 25 February 1852) was an Irish writer, poet, and lyricist celebrated for his Irish Melodies. Their setting of English-language verse to old Irish tunes marked the transition in popular Irish culture from Irish to English. Politically, Moore was recognised in England as a press, or "squib", writer for the aristocratic Whigs; in Ireland he was accounted a Catholic patriot. |
Wisdom and deep intelligence require an honest appreciation of mystery.
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
True change takes place in the imagination.
Bastard Freedom waves Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves.
A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.
Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed.
Study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
Came but for friendship, and took away love.
