What precious drops are those
Which silently each other's track pursue,
Bright as young diamonds in their infant dew?

Additional quotes by John Dryden

Whatever is, is in its causes just;
But purblind man
Sees but a part o' th' chain; the nearest link;
His eyes not carrying to that equal beam
That poises all above.

Great wits are sure to madness near allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide.

For truth has such a face and such a mien
As to be loved needs only to be seen.
