Samuel Rogers Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: July 30, 1763 - December 18, 1855
Birthday: July 30
Death: December 18
Almost all men are over anxious. No sooner do they enter the world than they lose that taste for natural and simple pleasures so remarkable in early life. Every hour do they ask themselves what progress they have made in the pursuit of wealth or honor and on they go as their fathers went before them till weary and sick at heart they look back with a sigh of regret to the golden time of their childhood.
