The delights of lust terminate in languishment and dejection the object thou burnest for nauseates with satiety, and no sooner hadst thou possessed it, but thou wert weary of its presence.

More quotes by Robert Dodsley
The wise maketh every thing the means of advantage and with the same countenance beholdeth he all the faces of fortune: he governeth the good, he conquereth the evil he is unmov'd in all. Presume not in prosperity, neither despair thou in adversity.
Robert Dodsley
