Additional quotes by John Suckling

Our sins, like to our shadows,
When our day is in its glory, scarce appear:
Towards our evening how great and monstrous
They are!

They who know all the wealth they have are poor;
He's only rich that cannot tell his store.

’Tis expectation makes a blessing dear;
Heaven were not heaven, if we knew what it were.

If I a fancy take To black and blue, That fancy doth it beauty make. - John Suckling
