Quotations for heap

The more you heap,
The worse you cheap. [ Proverb ]

Heap on more wood! the wind is chill;
But let it whistle as it will.
We'll keep our Christmas merry still. [ Scott ]

Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade,
Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap,
Each in his narrow cell forever laid,
The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep. [ Gray ]

Why dost thou heap up wealth, which thou must quit,
Or what is worse, be left by it?
Why dost thou load thyself when thou 'rt to fly.
Oh, man! ordained to die?
Why dost thou build up stately rooms on high,
Thou who art under ground to lie?
Thou sow'st and plantest, but no fruit must see.
For death, alas! is reaping thee. [ Cowley ]

He, like Amphion, makes those quarries leap into fair figures from a confused heap. [ Waller ]

Respect your wife. Heap earth around that flower, but never drop any in the chalice. [ A. de Musset ]

High-built abundance, heap on heap! for what? To breed new wants, and beggar us the more,
Then, make a richer scramble for the throng. [ Young ]

If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. [ Bible ]

All the good things of this world are no further good to us than as they are of use; and whatever we may heap up to give to others, we enjoy only as much as we can use, and no more. [ De Foe ]
