John Dryden Quotes
Forgiveness to the injured does belong; but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong. Genius must be born, and never can be taught. Go miser go, for money sell your soul. Trade wares for wares and trudge from pole to pole, So others may say when you are dead and gone. See what a vast estate he left his son. God never made His work for man to mend. Great wits are sure to madness near allied, and thin partitions do their bounds divide. Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today. He has not learned the first lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear. He who would search for pearls must dive below. Honor is but an empty bubble. If you be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams - the more they are condensed the deeper they burn. Ill habits gather unseen degrees, as brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas. It is madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because by herself she is nothing and is ruled by prudence. Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul. Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue. Look around the inhabited world; how few know their own good, or knowing it, pursue. Love is love's reward. Love is not in our choice but in our fate. Love works a different way in different minds, the fool it enlightens and the wise it blinds. Never was patriot yet, but was a fool. Only man clogs his happiness with care, destroying what is with thoughts of what may be.
