John Dryden Quotes

Lucky men are favorites of Heaven.

Murder may pass unpunished for a time, But tardy justice will overtake the crime.

I saw myself the lambent easy light Gild the brown horror, and dispel the night.

Virgil and Horace were the severest writers of the severest age.

Take not away the life you cannot give: For all things have an equal right to live.

They live too long who happiness outlive.

He who trusts secrets to a servant makes him his master.

Only man clogs his happiness with care, destroying what is with thoughts of what may be.

Be slow to resolve, but quick in performance.
