More quotes by John Gower
He that well his warke beginneth
The rather a good ende he winneth.
A king may spille, a king may save;
A king may make of lorde a knave;
And of a knave a lorde also.
The beauté faye upon her face
Non erthly thing it may desface.
He hath the sor which no man heleth,
The which is cleped lack of herte.
You may also like
O, brother man! fold to thy heart thy brother;
where pity dwells, the peace of God is there.
The craving for sympathy is the common boundary-line between joy and sorrow.
