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.
