John Ford Quotes

Physicians are the cobblers, rather the botchers, of men's bodies; as the one patches our tattered clothes, so the other solders our diseased flesh.

Sister, look ye,
How, by a new creation of my tailor's
I've shook off old mortality.

Let them fear bondage who are slaves to fear;
The sweetest freedom is an honest heart.

Why, I hold fate
Clasped in my fist, and could command the course
Of time's eternal motion, hadst thou been
One thought more steady than an ebbing sea.

Fly hence, shadows, that do keep,
Watchful sorrows, charmed in sleep.

Glories
Of human greatness are but pleasing dreams,
And shadows soon decaying.

He hath shook hands with time.

Flattery
Is monstrous in a true friend.
