Quotations for confer

Minds that have nothing to confer
Find little to perceive. [ Wordsworth ]

That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where hourly I converse
With the old sages and philosophers;
And sometimes, for variety, I confer
With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels;
Calling their victories, if unjustly got,
Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,
Deface their ill-placed statues. [ Beaumont and Fletcher ]

Riches take peace from the soul, but rarely, if ever, confer it. [ Petrarch ]

Where you confer a benefit on those worthy of it, you confer a favour on all. [ Publius Syrus ]

Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendour, can never confer real happiness. [ Scott ]

It is a law of the gods which is never broken, to sell somewhat dearly the great benefits which they confer on us. [ Corneille ]

His calumny is not only the greatest benefit a rogue can confer on us, but the only service he will perform for nothing. [ Lavater ]

It is a proof of boorishness to confer a favor with a bad grace; it is the act of giving that is hard and painful. How little does a smile cost! [ Bruyere ]

Labour is the ornament of the citizen; the reward of toil is when you confer blessings on others; his high dignity confers honour on the king; be ours the glory of our hands. [ Friedrich Schiller ]
