Quotation Explorer - 'Repaid'

Real joy, which comes from loving to do good things without wanting to be repaid, is the reward that lasts forever. - Emanuel Swedenborg
Many are poets, but without the name;For what is Poesy but to createFrom overfeeling Good or Ill; and aimAt an external life beyond our fate,And be the new Prometheus of new men,Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late,Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain - George Gordon Byron
