More quotes by Robert Burton
The Chinese say that we Europeans have one eye, they themselves two, all the world else is blinde.
The fear of some divine and supreme powers keeps men in obedience.
He that will not when he may,
When he will he shall have nay.
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.
