I have not wept these forty years; but now my mother comes afresh into my eyes (John Dryden Quotes)
Every age has a kind of universal genius, which includes those that live in it to some particular studies (John Dryden Quotes)
The end of satire is the amendment of vices by correction; and he who writes honestly is no more an enemy to the offender than the physician to the patient when he prescribes harsh remedies (John Dryden Quotes)
