John Dryden
  • He has not learned the first lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.

  • Death in itself is nothing but we fear to be we know not what, we know not where.

  • Forgiveness to the injured does belong but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.

  • Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more if future fortunes were known before!

  • Boldness is a mask for fear, however great.
