Additional quotes by Christopher Marlowe

Like untuned golden strings all women are,
Which long time lie untouch'd, will harshly jar.
Vessels of brass, oft handled, brightly shine.

Now will I show myself to have more of the serpent than the dove; that is, more knave than fool.

Religion
Hides many mischiefs from suspicion.

Thou hast committed— Fornication: but that was in another country; And besides, the wench is dead. - Christopher Marlowe
