Additional quotes by John Dryden

Youth, beauty, graceful action seldom fail,
But common interest always will prevail.

Let Fortune empty her whole quiver on me, I have a soul that, like an ample shield, Can take in all, and verge enough for more; Fate was not mine, nor am I Fate's: Souls know no conquerors.
