Without constancy, there is neither love, friendship, nor virtue in the world. - Joseph Addison Constancy will always be the genius of love, the indication of that strength which constitutes the poet. A man should possess all women in his wife, like those squalid poetasters of the seventeenth century who made fair Irises and dazzling Chloes of their lowly Manons. - Honore de Balzac The mountain rill Seeks with no surer flow the far bright sea, Than my unchang'd affections flow to thee. - Park Benjamin Constancy is a saint without a worshiper. - Marquis Stanislas Jean de Boufflers Through perils both of wind and limb, Through thick and thin she follow'd him. - Samuel Butler (1), Hudibras (pt. I, canto II, l. 369) Sooner shall this blue ocean melt to air, Sooner shall earth resolve itself to sea, Than I resign thine image, oh ,my fair! Or think of any thing, excepting thee. - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron), Don Juan A good man it is not mine to see; could I see a man possessed of constancy, that would satisfy me. - Confucius True constancy no time no power can move; He that loath known to change, ne'er knew to love. - John Gay Though youth be past, and beauty fled, The constant heart its pledge redeems, Like box, that guards the flowerless bed And brighter from the contrast seems. - Mrs. Sarah Josepha (Buell) Hale 'Tis often constancy to change the mind. - John Hoole, Metastasio--Sieves First shall the heaven's bright lamp forget to shine, The stars shall from the azur'd sky decline: First shall the orient with the west shake hand, The centre of the world shall cease to stand: First wolves shall league with lambs, the dolphins fly, The lawyer and physician fees deny; The Thames with Tagus shall exchange her bed, My mistress' locks wish mine shall first turn red; First heav'n shall lie below, and hell above, Ere I inconstant to my Delia prove. - James Howell (Howel) Changeless march the stars above, Changeless morn succeeds to even; And the everlasting hills, Changeless watch the changeless heaven. - Charles Kingsley, Saint's Tragedy (act II, sc. 2) The constancy of the wise is only the art of keeping disquietude to one's self. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld Then come the wild weather, come sleet or come snow, We will stand by each other; however it blow. Oppression, and sickness, and sorrow, and pain Shall be to our true love as links to the chain. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Constancy is the complement of all other human virtues. - Giuseppe Mazzini Oh, the heart, that has truly loved, never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close, As the sun-flower turns on her god, when he sets, The same look which she turn'd when he rose. - Thomas Moore There is nothing but death Our affections can sever, And till life's latest breath Love shall bind us for ever. - James Gates Percival Tell him I love him yet, As in that joyous time; Tell him I ne'er forget, Though memory now be crime. - Winthrop Mackworth Praed Abra was ready ere I call'd her name; And, though I call'd another, Abra came. - Matthew Prior, Solomon on the Vanity of the World (bk. II, l. 364) I am constant as the northern star, of whose true-fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament. - William Shakespeare Now from head to foot I am marble-constant: now the fleeting moon No planet is of mine. - William Shakespeare Were man but constant, he were perfect. - William Shakespeare My resolution's placed, and I have nothing Of woman in me: now from head to foot I am marble-constant: now the fleeting moon No planet is of mine. - William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at V, ii) O constancy, be strong upon my side, Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue! I have a man's mind, but a woman's might. - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar (Portia at II, iv) I could be well moved, if I were as you; If I could pray to move, prayers would move me: But I am constant as the Northern Star, Of whose true-fixed and resting quality There is no fellow in the firmament. - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar (Caesar at III, i) Displaying page 1 of 2 for this topic: Next >> [1] 2
