Additional quotes by George Granville

There is no vulture like despair.

So many shapes have women for deceit,
That every man's a fool, when we think fit.

In vain we plant, we build, our stores increase,
If conscience roots up all our inward peace.

Love is a plant of the most tender kind, That shrinks and shakes with ev'ry ruffling wind. - George Granville
