Additional quotes by John Hoole

For while the treason I detest,
The traitor still I love.

What has that wretched damsel left to boast,
What good on earth, whose virtuous praise is lost?

Behold the state of man's unstable mind,
Still prone to change with every changing wind!
All our resolves are weak, but weakest prove
Where sprung from sense of disappointed love.

Never let us utter what we never can know, And chiefly when it works another's woe. - John Hoole
