Additional quotes by John Fletcher

Deeds, not words shall speak me.

There's nothing that allays an angry mind
So soon as a sweet beauty.

Corruption is a tree, whose branches are
Of an immeasurable length: they spread
Ev'rywhere; and the dew that drops from thence
Hath infected some chairs and stools of authority.
