John Dryden

John Dryden
None are so busy as the fool and the knave.
John Dryden

John Dryden

John Dryden
If passion rules, how weak does reason prove!
John Dryden

John Dryden
He trudged along unknowing what he sought, And whistled as he went, for want of thought.
John Dryden
We must beat the iron while it is hot, but we may polish it at leisure.
John Dryden
Home is the sacred refuge of our life.
John Dryden
Trust on and think To-morrow will repay To-morrow's falser than the former day Lies worse and while it says, we shall be blest With some new Joys, cuts off what we possest.
John Dryden
