Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment. - [Ambition] Avoid the politic, the factious fool, The busy, buzzing, talking harden'd knave; The quaint smooth rogue that sins against his reason, Calls saucy loud sedition public zeal, And mutiny the dictates of his spirit. - [Faction] Base natures ever judge a thing above them, and hate a power they are too much obliged to. - [Obligation] Children blessings seem, but torments are. - [Children] Clocks will go as they are set; but man, irregular man, is never constant, never certain. - [Inconstancy] Could my griefs speak, the tale would have no end. - [Sorrow] Cowards are scared with threatenings; boys are whipped into confession; but a steady mind acts of itself, ne'er asks the body counsel. - [Firmness] Dame Fortune, like most others of the female sex, is generally most indulgent to the nimble-mettled blockheads. - [Fortune] False as the adulterate promises of favorites in power when poor men court them. - [Falsity] Fine speeches are the instruments of fools or knaves, who use them when they want good sense; but honesty needs no disguise or ornament. - [Flattery] Greatness, thou gaudy torment of out souls, The wise man's fetter, and the rage of fools. - [Greatness] Honesty needs no disguise nor ornament; be plain. - [Honesty] How many men Have spent their blood in their dear country's service, Yet now pine under want; while selfish slaves, That even would cut their throats whom now they fawn on, Like deadly locusts, eat the honey up, Which those industrious bees so hardly toil'd for. - [Court] I know not how to tell thee! Shame rises in my face, and interrupts the story of my tongue! - [Shame] Indeed, you thanked me; but a nobler gratitude rose in her soul, for from that hour she loved me. - [Gratitude] Justice is lame as well as blind, amongst us. - [Justice] Like conquering tyrants you our breasts invade, Where you are pleas'd to ravage for awhile; But soon you find new conquests out and leave The ravag'd province ruinate and bare. - [Courtship] Love reigns a very tyrant in my heart. - [Tyrants] My eyes won't lose the sight of thee, But languish after thine, and ache with gazing. - [Parting] No flatt'ry, boy! an honest man can't live by't; It is a little sneaking art, which knaves Use to cajole and soften fools withal. If thou hast flatt'ry in thy nature, out with't; Or send it to a court, for there 'twill thrive. - [Flattery] No flattery, boy! an honest man cannot live by it; it is a little, sneaking art, which knaves use to cajole and soften fools withal. - [Flattery] Revenge, the attribute of gods! they stamped it with their great image on our natures. - [Revenge] She who has beauty might ensnare a conqueror's soul, and make him leave his crown at random, to be scuffed for by slaves. - [Power] The pain is in my head; 'tis is in my heart; 'Tis everywhere; it rages like a madness, And I most wonder how my reason holds. - [Rage] The queen of night shines fair with all her virgin stars about her. - [Moon] Displaying page 1 of 2 for this author: Next >> [1] 2
