Additional quotes by John Dryden

All empire is no more than power in trust.

Endure the hardships of your present state,
Live, and reserve yourselves for better fate.

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

Like a led victim, to my death I'll go, And, dying, bless the hand that gave the blow. - John Dryden
