More quotes by John Webster
Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine bright,
But look'd too near have neither heat nor light.
I know death hath ten thousand several doors
For men to take their exits.
Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust,
Like diamonds, we are cut with our own dust.
You may also like
Life could not be lived wet, whether it be in rain or tears.
In much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Every joy that some experience is paid for by the sorrow of others.
