Thou tyrant, tyrant Jealousy, Thou tyrant of the mind.John Dryden
Love works a different way in different minds, the fool it enlightens and the wise it blinds.
John Dryden
A fiery soul, which, working out its way, Fretted the pygmy-body to decay, And o'er-inform'd the tenement of clay. A daring pilot in extremity Pleas'd with the danger, when the waves went high He sought the storms.
John Dryden
For those whom God to ruin has design'd, He fits for fate, and first destroys their mind.
John Dryden
Tomorrow do thy worst, I have lived today.
John Dryden
Mere poets are sottish as mere drunkards are, who live in a continual mist, without seeing or judging anything clearly. A man should be learned in several sciences, and should have a reasonable, philosophical and in some measure a mathematical head, to be a complete and excellent poet.
John Dryden
