More quotes by Horace Walpole
Power is an intoxicating draught; the more a man has, the more he desires.
A careless song, with a little nonsense in it now and then, does not misbecome a monarch.
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.
