19 August: John Dryden Quotes

2. Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls, must dive below.
3. None but the brave deserve the fair.
4. We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.
5. Confidence is the feeling we have before knowing all the facts.
6. Love works a different way in different minds, the fool it enlightens and the wise it blinds.
7. The scum that rises upmost, when the nation boils.
8. Here lies my wife: here let her lie! Now she's at rest, and so am I.
