MRS. APHRA (AFRA OR APHARA OR AYFARA) JOHNSON BEHN English playwright, poet and novelist (1640 - 1689) Come away; poverty's catching.       - [Poverty] Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.       - [Love] Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret.       - [Love] Money speaks sense in a language all nations understand.       - [Money] Patience is a flatterer, sir and an ass, sir.       - [Patience] If things on earth may be to heaven resembled,   It must be love, pure, constant, undissembled.       - And Forgive Us Our Trespasses [Love] Yet if thou didst but know how little wit governs this mighty universe.       - Comedy of the Rounded Heads (act I, sc. 2)         [Government] Last Revised: 2008 June 30 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
