More quotes by Andrew Marvell

For though the whole world cannot show such another,
Yet we’d better by far have him than his brother.

The world in all doth but two nations bear —
The good, the bad; and these mixed everywhere.

To make a bank was a great plot of state;
Invent a shovel, and be a magistrate.

The Character of Holland (1653)

An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.

No creature loves an empty space;
Their bodies measure out their place.
