George Sewell movie quotes

“Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt.”
George Sewell

“The coward sneaks to death; the brave live on.”
George Sewell

“I am no Courtier, no fawning Dog of State,
To lick and kiss the Hand that buffets me:
Nor can I smile upon my Guest, and praise
His Stomach, when I know he feeds on Poison,
And Death disguis'd sits grinning at my Table.”
George Sewell

“O, reputation! dearer far than life,
Thou precious balsam, lovely, sweet of smell,
Whose cordial drops once spilt by some rash hand,
Not all the owner's care, nor the repenting toil
Of the rude spiller, ever can collect
To its first purity and native sweetness.”
George Sewell

“Obedience is a part of religion, and an element of peace.”
George Sewell

“Obedience, we may remember, is a part of religion, and therefore
an element of peace; but love which includes obedience is the
whole.”
George Sewell

“The coward sneaks to death; the brave live on.”
George Sewell

“Vain empty words
Of honour, glory and immortal fame,
Can these recall the spirit from its place,
Or re-inspire the breathless clay with life?
What tho' your fame with all its thousand trumpets,
Sound o'er the sepulchres, will that awake
The sleeping dead.”
George Sewell

“When all the blandishments of life are gone,
The coward sneaks to death, the brave live on.”

George Sewell

“Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt.”
George Sewell

“For often vice, provoked to shame, borrows the color of a
virtuous deed; thus libertines are chaste, and misers good, a
coward valiant, and a priest sincere.”
George Sewell
