More quotes by John Lyly
The soft droppes of rain perce the hard marble; many strokes overthrow the tallest oaks.
Lips are no part of the head, only made for a double-leaf door for the mouth.
There can no great smoke arise, but there must be some fire.
You may also like
To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
