Those who write ill, and they who ne'er durst write, Turn critics out of mere revenge and spite.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Secret guilt is by silence revealed.

When we view elevated ideas of Nature, the result of that view is admiration, which is always the cause of pleasure.

John Dryden 688 quotes

A good conscience is a port which is landlocked on every side, where no winds can possibly invade. There a man may not only see his own image, but that of his Maker, clearly reflected from the undisturbed waters.

John Dryden 688 quotes

When a man's life is under debate, The judge can ne'er too long deliberate.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Good sense and good-nature ar...

Good sense and good-nature are never separated, though the ignorant world has thought otherwise. Good-nature, by which I mean beneficence and candor, is the product of right reason.

John Dryden 688 quotes

While I am compassed round Wi...

While I am compassed round With mirth, my soul lies hid in shades of grief, Whence, like the bird of night, with half-shut eyes, She peeps, and sickens at the sight of day.

John Dryden 688 quotes

If thou dost still retain the...

If thou dost still retain the same ill habits, the same follies, too, still thou art bound to vice, and still a slave.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Love and Time with reverence ...

Love and Time with reverence use,
Treat them like a parting friend:
Nor the golden gifts refuse
Which in youth sincere they send:
For each year their price is more,
And they less simple than before.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Let those find fault whose wi...

Let those find fault whose wit's so very small, They've need to show that they can think at all; Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls, must dive below. Fops may have leave to level all they can; As pigmies would be glad to lop a man. Half-wits are fleas; so little and so light, We scarce could know they live, but that they bite.

John Dryden 688 quotes

What precious drops are those...

What precious drops are those, Which silently each other's track pursue, Bright as young diamonds in their faint dew?

John Dryden 688 quotes

I am as free as nature first ...

I am as free as nature first made man,
Ere the base laws of servitude began,
When wild in woods the noble savage ran.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Our vows are heard betimes! a...

Our vows are heard betimes! and Heaven takes care To grant, before we can conclude the prayer: Preventing angels met it half the way, And sent us back to praise, who came to pray.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Riches cannot rescue from the...

Riches cannot rescue from the grave, which claims alike the monarch and the slave.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Welcome, thou kind deceiver! ...

Welcome, thou kind deceiver! Thou best of thieves; who, with an easy key, Dost open life, and, unperceived by us, Even steal us from ourselves.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Tomorrow do thy worst, for I ...

Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today: 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 688 quotes

Thus, while the mute creation...

Thus, while the mute creation downward bend Their sight, and to their earthly mother ten, Man looks aloft; and with erected eyes Beholds his own hereditary skies.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Mere poets are sottish as mer...

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 688 quotes

Dreams are but interludes that fancy makes... Sometimes forgotten things, long cast behind Rush forward in the brain, and come to mind.

John Dryden 688 quotes

Youth, beauty, graceful action seldom fail: But common interest always will prevail; And pity never ceases to be shown To him who makes the people's wrongs his own.
