William Congreve
  • There is in true beauty, as in courage, something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.

  • 'Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.

  • Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear.

  • No, I'm no enemy to learning it hurts not me.

  • Say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved.
