Quote by William Cowper
Candid and generous and just. Boys care but little whom they trust

Other quotes by William Cowper

Unless a love of virtue light the flame,
Satire is, more than those he brands, to blame;
He hides behind a magisterial air
He own offences, and strips others bare. – William Cowper
