More quotes by John Dryden
Forgiveness to the injured does belong but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.
John Dryden
He invades authors like a monarch and what would be theft in other poets is only victory in him.
John Dryden
Imitators are but a servile kind of cattle.
John Dryden
Good sense and good nature are never separated and good nature is the product of right reason.
John Dryden
Many things impossible to thought have been by need to full perfection brought.
John Dryden
He was exhaled his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
John Dryden
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
If the faults of men in orders are only to be judged among themselves, they are all in some sort parties for, since they say the honour of their order is concerned in every member of it, how can we be sure that they will be impartial judges?
John Dryden
He trudged along unknowing what he sought, And whistled as he went, for want of thought.
John Dryden
All habits gather by unseen degrees.
John Dryden
So over violent, or over civil that every man with him was God or Devil.
John Dryden

John Dryden
When bounteous autumn rears her head, he joys to pull the ripened pear.
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
Politicians neither love nor hate.
John Dryden
An ugly woman in a rich habit set out with jewels nothing can become.
John Dryden
Zeal, the blind conductor of the will.
John Dryden
No government has ever been, or can ever be, wherein time-servers and blockheads will not be uppermost.
John Dryden
Love reckons hours for months, and days for years and every little absence is an age.
John Dryden
So poetry, which is in Oxford made An art, in London only is a trade.
