More quotes by Jane Porter
Self-love leads men of narrow minds to measure all mankind by their own capacity.
There is nothing so clear-sighted and sensible as a noble mind in a low estate.
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.
