None without hope e'er lov'd the brightest fair:
More quotes by George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton
Where none admire, 'tis useless to excel;
Where none are beaux, 'tis vain to be a belle.
Seek to be good, but aim not to be great;
A woman’s noblest station is retreat.

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.
