Quotations for mould

When darkness gathers over all,
And the last tottering pillars fall,
Take the poor dust Thy mercy warms,
And mould it into heavenly forms. [ O. W. Holmes ]

Equal nature fashion'd us
All in one mould.
All's but the outward gloss
And politic form that does distinguish us. [ Massinger ]

Where is the dust that has not been alive?
The spade, the plough, disturb our ancestors;
From human mould we reap our daily bread. [ Young ]

The mould of a man's fortune is in his own hands. [ Bacon ]

He'll never have enough till his mouth is full of mould. [ Proverb ]

Nature does not make all great men, more than all other men, in the self-same mould. [ Carlyle ]

Though all men were made of one metal, yet they were not cast all in the same mould. [ Proverb ]

Nor virtue, wit, or beauty, could preserve from death's hand this their heavenly mould. [ Carew ]

Out of the same garden-mould grows the weed as the flower, and the weed flaunts itself abroad. [ Bodenstedt ]

A hermit who has been shut up in his cell in a college has contracted a sort of mould and rust upon his soul. [ Dr. Watts ]

I would fain coin wisdom - mould it, I mean, into maxims, proverbs, sentences, that can easily be retained and transmitted. [ Joubert ]

Every man must, in a measure, be alone in the world; no heart was ever cast in the same mould, as that which we bear within us. [ F. Berni ]

Poverty breeds wealth; and wealth in its turn breeds poverty. The earth, to form the mould, is taken out of the ditch; and whatever may be the height of the one will be the depth of the other. [ J. C. and A. W. Hare ]

Alchemy may be compared to the man who told his sons he had left them gold buried somewhere in his vineyard; where they by digging found no gold, but by turning up the mould, about the roots of their vines, procured a plentiful vintage. So the search and endeavors to make gold have brought many useful inventions and instructive experiments to light. [ Bacon ]

No process is so fatal as that which would cast all men in one mould. Every human being is intended to have a character of his own, to be what no other is, to do what no other can do. Our common nature is to be unfolded in unbounded diversities. It is rich enough for infinite manifestations. It is to wear innumerable forms of beauty and glory. Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to perform abroad, influences to exert, which are peculiarly his, and which no conscience but his own can teach. [ Channing ]
