John Bartlett (1820–1905).  Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.  1919.
 
 
NUMBER:5263
AUTHOR:Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
QUOTATION:It sounds like stories from the laud of spirits
If any man obtains that which he merits,
Or any merit that which he obtains.
   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .
Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends!
Hath he not always treasures, always friends,
The good great man? Three treasures,—love and light,
And calm thoughts, regular as infants’ breath;
And three firm friends, more sure than day and night,—
Himself, his Maker, and the angel Death.
