Great souls forgive not injuries till time has put their enemies within their power, that they may show forgiveness is their own (John Dryden Quotes)
The elephant is never won by anger; nor must that man who would reclaim a lion take him by the teeth (John Dryden Quotes)
Fortune’s unjust; she ruins oft the brave, and him who should be victor, makes the slave (John Dryden Quotes)
Prodigious actions may as well be done, by weaver’s issue, as the prince’s son (John Dryden Quotes)
I strongly wish for what I faintly hope; like the daydreams of melancholy men, I think and think in things impossible, yet love to wander in that golden maze (John Dryden Quotes)
Reason to rule, mercy to forgive: The first is law, the last prerogative. Life is an adventure in forgiveness (John Dryden Quotes)
Content with poverty, my soul I arm; And virtue, though in rags, will keep me warm (John Dryden Quotes)
Fame then was cheap, and the first comer sped; And they have kept it since by being dead (John Dryden Quotes)
If you have lived, take thankfully the past. Make, as you can, the sweet remembrance last (John Dryden Quotes)
What, start at this! when sixty years have spread. Their grey experience o’er thy hoary head? Is this the all observing age could gain? Or hast thou known the world so long in vain? (John Dryden Quotes)
I am devilishly afraid, that’s certain; but... I’ll sing, that I may seem valiant (John Dryden Quotes)
One of the greatest, most noble, and most sublime poems which either this age or nation has produced (John Dryden Quotes)
What judgment I had increases rather than diminishes; and thoughts, such as they are, come crowding in so fast upon me, that my only difficulty is to choose or reject; to run them into verse or to give them the other harmony of prose (John Dryden Quotes)
We find few historians who have been diligent enough in their search for truth; it is their common method to take on trust what they help distribute to the public; by which means a falsehood once received from a famed writer becomes traditional to posterity (John Dryden Quotes)
Arts and sciences in one and the same century have arrived at great perfection; and no wonder, since every age has a kind of universal genius, which inclines those that live in it to some particular studies; the work then, being pushed on by many hands, must go forward (John Dryden Quotes)
Mere poets are sottish as mere drunkards are, who live in a continual mist, without seeing or judging anything clearly. A man should be learned in several sciences, and should have a reasonable, philosophical and in some measure a mathematical head, to be a complete and excellent poet (John Dryden Quotes)
Time, place, and action may with pains be wrought, but genius must be born; and never can be taught (John Dryden Quotes)
Be fair, or foul, or rain, or shine, the joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine. Not heaven itself upon the past has power; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour (John Dryden Quotes)
Drinking is the soldier’s pleasure; Rich the treasure; Sweet the pleasure; Sweet is pleasure after pain (John Dryden Quotes)
Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls must dive below (John Dryden Quotes)
Like pilgrims to the appointed place we tend; the world’s an inn, and death the journey’s end (John Dryden Quotes)
Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you don’t let other people spend it for you (John Dryden Quotes)
Beauty is nothing else but a just accord and mutual harmony of the members, animated by a healthful constitution (John Dryden Quotes)
The propriety of thoughts and words, which are the hidden beauties of a play, are but confusedly judged in the vehemence of action (John Dryden Quotes)
I maintain, against the enemies of the stage, that patterns of piety, decently represented, may second the precepts (John Dryden Quotes)
Take not away the life you cannot give: For all things have an equal right to live (John Dryden Quotes)
Here, here it lies; a lump of lead by day; and in my short distracted nightly slumbers, the hag that rides my dreams (John Dryden Quotes)
It is a madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because in herself she is nothing, but is ruled by prudence (John Dryden Quotes)
Alas! I have not words to tell my grief; to vent my sorrow would be some relief; light sufferings give us leisure to complain; we groan, we cannot speak, in greater pain (John Dryden Quotes)
