Dryden Disapproves

Famous quotes containing the words dryden and/or disapproves:

    Repentance is but want of power to sin.
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)

    To measure life learn thou betimes, and know
    Toward solid good what leads the nearest way;
    For other things mild Heaven a time ordains,

    And disapproves that care, though wise in show,
    That with superfluous burden loads the day,
    And, when God sends a cheerful hour, refrains.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
