John Dryden Quotes
Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are. Reason is a crutch for age, but youth is strong enough to walk alone. Repentance is but want of power to sin. Roused by the lash of his own stubborn tail our lion now will foreign foes assail. Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more; if future fortunes were known before! Self-defence is Nature's eldest law. Shame on the body for breaking down while the spirit perseveres. Successful crimes alone are justified. The first is the law, the last prerogative. The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves. The sooner you treat your son as a man, the sooner he will be one. There is a pleasure in being mad which none but madmen know. They that possess the prince possess the laws. Time, place, and action may with pains be wrought, but genius must be born; and never can be taught. To die is landing on some distant shore. Tomorrow do thy worst, I have lived today. War is the trade of Kings. We first make our habits, and then our habits make us. What passions cannot music raise or quell? When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
