CROWNE, John Quotes
(about 1640-1712), English dramatist
Who stabs my name would stab my person too, did not the hangman's axe lie in the way.
War destroys men, but luxury destroys mankind; at once corrupts the body and the mind.
A fool, indeed, has great need of a title; it teaches men to call him count or duke, and thus forget his proper name of fool.
Who stabs my name would stab my person, too, did not the hangman's axe lie in the way.
A fool, indeed, has great need of title, it teaches men to call him court and duke, and to forget his proper name of fool.
