More quotes by Charles Buxton
All movement, of every creature, comes from the desire after something better.
Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.
Women see through and through each other; and often we most admire her whom they most scorn.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
