More quotes by Colley Cibber

Our hours in love have wings; in absence, crutches.

As good be out of the world as out of the fashion.

We shall find no fiend in hell can match the fury of a disappointed woman,—scorned, slighted, dismissed without a parting pang.

Oh, how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring!

The aspiring youth that fired the Ephesian dome
Outlives in fame the pious fool that rais'd it.

Richard III (altered) (1700)
