Additional quotes by William Congreve

Say what you will, ’tis better to be left than never to have been loved.

If there's delight in love, 'Tis when I see that heart, which others bleed for, bleed for me.

Why will mankind be fools, and be deceived? And why are friends’ and lovers’ oaths believed; When each, who searches strictly his own mind, May so much fraud and power of baseness find?
