Dropt tears have hastened your decay
More quotes by Eleanor Farjeon
It’s no use crying over spilt evils. It’s better to mop them up laughing.
Of what use to destroy the children of evil? It is evil itself we must destroy at the roots.
Of troubles know I none,
Of pleasures know I many —
I rove beneath the sun
Without a single penny.

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.
