More quotes by Richard Steele
A favor well bestowed is almost as great an honor to him who confers it as to him who receives it.
Of all the affections which attend human life, the love of glory is the most ardent.
Will Honeycomb calls these over-offended ladies the outrageously virtuous.
You may also like
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.
