Additional quotes by John Dryden

A man is to be cheated into passion, but to be reasoned into truth.

Men are but children of a larger growth; Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving, too, and full as vain.

Men met each other with erected look,
The steps were higher that they took;
Friends to congratulate their friends made haste,
And long inveterate foes saluted as they passed.
