Sidney

Famous quotes containing the word sidney:

“Nor envy’s snaky eye, finds harbour here,
Nor flatterers’ venomous insinuations,
Nor cunning humorists’ puddled opinions,
Nor courteous ruin of proffered usury,
Nor time prattled away, cradle of ignorance,
Nor causeless duty, nor comber of arrogance,
Nor trifling title of vanity dazzleth us,
Nor golden manacles stand for a paradise;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

“Is constant love deemed there but want of wit?”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

“Let here his eyes be raised
On Nature’s sweetest light;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
