Additional quotes by Philip Sidney

There have been many most excellent poets that never versified, and now swarm many versifiers that need never answer to the name of poets.

Open suspecting others comes of secret condemning themselves.

Stella, think not that I by verse seek fame,
Who seek, who hope, who love, who live but thee;
Thine eyes my pride, thy lips mine history:
If thou praise not, all other praise is shame.

And thou my minde aspire to higher things; Grow rich in that which never taketh rust. - Philip Sidney
