Letter "J" » John Dryden Quotes
«Kings fight for empires, madmen for applause.»
«For present joys are more to flesh and blood than a dull prospect of a distant good.»
«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.»
«He invades authors like a monarch; and what would be theft in other poets is only victory in him.»
«You see through love, and that deludes your sight, As what is straight seems crooked through the water.»
«With ravished ears / The monarch hears, / Assumes the god, / Affects to nod, / And seems to shake the spheres.»
Author: John Dryden

«And all to leave, what with this toil he won, / To that unfeathered, two-legged thing, a son.»

«When rattling bones together fly, / From the four corners of the sky.»
