Additional quotes by John Dryden

For you may palm upon us new for old:
All, as they say, that glitters, is not gold.

The soft complaining flute,
In dying notes, discovers
The woes of hopeless lovers.

And heaven had wanted one immortal song. But wild ambition loves to slide, not stand, And fortune's ice prefers to virtue's land.

For those whom God to ruin has design'd, He fits for fate, and first destroys their mind. - John Dryden
