C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.

Bounty

From bounty issues power.

Akenside.

Our bounty, like a drop of water, disappears, when diffus’d too widely.

Goldsmith.

The superfluous blossoms on a fruit tree are meant to symbolize the large way God loves to do pleasant things.

Beecher.

  • O blessed bounty, giving all content!
  • The only fautress of all noble arts
  • That lend’st success to every good intent.
  • A grace that rests in the most godlike hearts,
  • By heav’n to none but happy souls infus’d
  • Pity it is, that e’er thou wast abus’d.
  • Drayton.
