More quotes by William Congreve
Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing.
I find we are growing serious, and then we are in great danger of being dull.
Women are like tricks by sleight of hand,
Which, to admire, we should not understand.
For blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds,
And though a late, a sure reward succeeds.
