John Dryden
There is a pleasure in being mad, which none but madmen know.
John Dryden
Softly sweet, in Lydian measures, Soon he sooth'd his soul to pleasures. War, he sung, is toil and trouble Honour but an empty bubble Never ending, still beginning, Fighting still, and still destroying. If all the world be worth the winning, Think, oh think it worth enjoying: Lovely Thais sits beside thee, Take the good the gods provide thee.
John Dryden
The Fates but only spin the coarser clue The finest of the wool is left for you.
John Dryden

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
Reason is a crutch for age, but youth is strong enough to walk alone.
John Dryden
The elephant is never won by anger nor must that man who would reclaim a lion take him by the teeth.
John Dryden
Words are but pictures of our thoughts.
John Dryden
What I have left is from my native spring I've still a heart that swells, in scorn of fate, And lifts me to my banks.
John Dryden
The good we have enjoyed from Heaven's free will, and shall we murmur to endure the ill?
John Dryden
Politicians neither love nor hate.
