More quotes by John Dryden
I saw myself the lambent easy light Gild the brown horror, and dispel the night.
John Dryden
Want is a bitter and a hateful good, Because its virtues are not understood Yet many things, impossible to thought, Have been by need to full perfection brought. The daring of the soul proceeds from thence, Sharpness of wit, and active diligence Prudence at once, and fortitude it gives And, if in patience taken, mends our lives.
John Dryden

John Dryden
The bravest men are subject most to chance.

When Misfortune is asleep, let no one wake her.
