More quotes by John Dryden
War is a trade of kings.
John Dryden
Deathless laurel is the victor's due.
John Dryden
Blown roses hold their sweetness to the last.
John Dryden
Our souls sit close and silently within, And their own web from their own entrails spin And when eyes meet far off, our sense is such, That, spider-like, we feel the tenderest touch.
John Dryden
One cannot say he wanted wit, but rather that he was frugal of it.
John Dryden
Bacchus ever fair and young, Drinking joys did first ordain. Bachus's blessings are a treasure, Drinking is the soldier's pleasure, Rich the treasure, Sweet the pleasure- Sweet is pleasure after pain.
John Dryden
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.
John Dryden
But how can finite grasp Infinity?
John Dryden
The people have a right supreme To make their kings, for Kings are made for them. All Empire is no more than Pow'r in Trust, Which when resum'd, can be no longer just. Successionm for the general good design'd, In its own wrong a Nation cannot bind.
John Dryden
Ever a glutton, at another's cost, But in whose kitchen dwells perpetual frost.
John Dryden
What passion cannot music raise and quell!
John Dryden
Since every man who lives is born to die, And none can boast sincere felicity, With equal mind, what happens, let us bear, Nor joy nor grieve too much for things beyond our care. Like pilgrims to the' appointed place we tend The world's an inn, and death the journey's end.
John Dryden
They that possess the prince possess the laws.
John Dryden
The fortitude of a Christian consists in patience, not in enterprises which the poets call heroic, and which are commonly the effects of interest, pride and worldly honor.
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
Love is love's reward.
John Dryden
With odorous oil thy head and hair are sleek And then thou kemb'st the tuzzes on thy cheek: Of these, my barbers take a costly care.
John Dryden
Here lies my wife: here let her lie! Now she's at rest, and so am I.
John Dryden
For all the happiness mankind can gain Is not in pleasure, but in rest from pain.
John Dryden
Forgiveness to the injured does belong but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.
John Dryden
