John Dryden Quote

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains, my sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk

It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should refuse an offer of marriage

Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable

Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!

To get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with

Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied.
