More quotes by James Howell
Goose [pen] bee [wax] and calf [parchment] govern the world.
One hair of a woman can draw more than a hundred pair of oxen.
Nor is this lower world but a huge inn,
And men the rambling passengers.
Distance sometimes endears friendship, and absence sweeteneth it.
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.
