Additional quotes by Philip Sidney

Stella, think not that I by verse seek fame,
Who seek, who hope, who love, who live but thee;
Thine eyes my pride, thy lips mine history:
If thou praise not, all other praise is shame.

A fair woman shall not only command without authority but persuade without speaking.

With a tale forsooth he cometh unto you, with a tale which holdeth children from play, and old men from the chimney corner.
