John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

7689 Edward Robert

 
NUMBER:7689
AUTHOR:Edward Robert, Earl of Lytton (Owen Meredith) Bulwer-Lytton (1831–1891)
QUOTATION:The man who seeks one thing in life and but one
May hope to achieve it before life is done;
But he who seeks all things, wherever he goes
Only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows
A harvest of barren regrets.
ATTRIBUTION:Lucile. Part ii. Canto ii.
