More quotes by George Farquhar
There is no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty.
There's no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty.
Charming women can true converts make,
We love the precepts for the teacher’s sake.
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.
