More quotes by John Oliver Hobbes
What a man has done bores everybody, but what he is going to do is always delightful.
Men heap together the mistakes of their lives and create a monster which they call Destiny.
People get to like a soul, but a satisfactory hat makes an impression at first sight.
Disappointments—like fate and love—will not bear to be too much talked about.

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.
