Next these, learn’d Jonson, in this list I bring,
More quotes by Michael Drayton
Ill news hath wings, and with the wind doth go,
Comfort’s a cripple and comes ever slow.
The mind is free, whate’er afflict the man,
A King’s a King, do Fortune what she can.
For that fine madness still he did retain
Which rightly should possess a poet’s brain.

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.
Learning will be cast into the mire and trodden down under the hoofs of a swinish multitude.
