Additional quotes by John Dryden

Roused by the lash of his own stubborn tail, Our lion now will foreign foes assail.

Youth, beauty, graceful action seldom fail,
But common interest always will prevail.

From Plots and Treasons Heaven preserve my years,
But Save me most from my Petitioners.
Unsatiate as the barren Womb or Grave;
God cannot Grant so much as they can Crave.

Better shun the bait, than struggle in the snare. - John Dryden
