Additional quotes by George Granville

Marriage the happiest bond of love might be,
If hands were only join'd when hearts agree.

The liberal are secure alone,
For what we frankly give, for ever is our own.

Beauty by no complexion is defin'd,
Is of all colours, and to none confin'd.

Our present joy is sweeter by past pain, To love and heav'n, by suff'ring we attain. - George Granville
