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.
I warrant you, if he danced till doomsday, he thought I was to pay the piper.
Women are like tricks by sleight of hand,
Which, to admire, we should not understand.
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.
