Additional quotes by John Dryden

And oft with holy hymns he charm'd their ears, And music more melodious than the spheres.

But far more numerous was the herd of such,
Who think too little, and who talk too much.

They say everything in the world is good for something.

Drinking is the soldier’s pleasure; Rich the treasure; Sweet the pleasure; Sweet is pleasure after pain. - John Dryden
