That grave people hate love for the name’s sake;—
More quotes by Laurence Sterne
Only the brave know how to forgive...A coward never forgave; it is not in his nature.
Trust that man in nothing who has not a conscience in everything.
Friendship is the balm and cordial of life, and without it, ’tis a heavy load not worth sustaining.
I pity the man who can travel from Dan to Beersheba and cry, 'Tis all barren!
You may also like
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.
