More quotes by William Congreve
Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing.
I find we are growing serious, and then we are in great danger of being dull.
I warrant you, if he danced till doomsday, he thought I was to pay the piper.
Women are like tricks by sleight of hand,
Which, to admire, we should not understand.
For blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds,
And though a late, a sure reward succeeds.
