Quotations for semblance

Misery still delights to trace
Its semblance in another's case. [ Cowper ]

There is no such thing as Liberty in the universe: there can never be. The stars have it not; the earth has it not; the sea has it not; and we men have the mockery and semblance of it only for our heaviest punishment. [ John Ruskin ]
