A Quote by Robert Treat Paine

And ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves, while the earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls its waves. — © Robert Treat Paine
And ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves, while the earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls its waves.
Such night in England ne'er had been, nor ne'er again shall be.
What though the sea with waves continuall Doe eate the earth, it is no more at all ; Ne is the earth the lesse, or loseth ought : For whatsoever from one place doth fall Is with the tyde unto another brought : For there is nothing lost, that may be found if sought.
But there are wanderers o'er Eternity Whose bark drives on and on, and anchor'd ne'er shall be.
Our days of praise shall ne'er be past While life, and thought, and being last, And immortality endures.
Alas! the praise given to the ear Ne'er was nor ne'er can be sincere.
I ne'er could any lustre see In eyes that would not look on me; I ne'er saw nectar on a lip But where my own did hope to sip.
He who shall teach the child to doubtThe rotting grave shall ne'er get out.
Who ne'er his bread in sorrow ate, Who ne'er the mournful midnight hours Weeping upon his bed has sate, He knows you not, ye Heavenly Powers.
Wouldst thou wisely, and with pleasure, Pass the days of life's short measure, From the slow one counsel take, But a tool of him ne'er make; Ne'er as friend the swift one know, Nor the constant one as foe.
Ne'er to meet, or ne'er to part, is peace.
You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother
Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.
Sit by my side, and let the world slip: we shall ne'er be younger.
Tis strange the miser should his cares employTo gain those riches he can ne'er enjoy;Is it less strange the prodigal should wasteHis wealth to purchase what he ne'er can taste?
Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be, In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend; And if the means be just, the conduct true, Applause, in spite of trivial faults, is due.
