Additional quotes by William Congreve

She likes herself, yet others hates / For that which in herself she prizes; And, while she laughs at them, forgets / She is the thing that she despises.

Ah! Whither, whither shall I fly,
A poor unhappy Maid;
To hopeless Love and Misery
By my own Heart betray’d?

For blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds,
And though a late, a sure reward succeeds.

Retired to their tea and scandal, according to their ancient custom. - William Congreve
