5 quotes
May see thee now, though late, redeem thy name,
And glorify what else is damn'd to fame.
He lives to build, not boast, a generous race;
No tenth transmitter of a foolish face.
The Bastard (1728)
Such, Polly, are your sex—part truth, part fiction;
Some thought, much whim, and all a contradiction.
Nay, but weigh well what you presume to swear!
Oaths are of dreadful Weight—and, if they're false,
Draw down Damnation.
Sir Thomas Overbury (1724)
When Anger rushes, unrestrain'd, to Action,
Like a hot Steed, it stumbles in its way!
The Man of Thought wounds deepest, and strikes safely.
Sir Thomas Overbury (1724)
