OTWAY, Thomas Quotes
(1651-1685), English dramatist
Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment.
Clocks will go as they are set; but man, irregular man, is never constant, never certain.
The worst thing an old man can be is a lover.
These wide-mouthed brutes, that bellow thus for freedom; oh! how they run before the hand of power, flying for shelter into every brake!
Clocks will go as they are set; but man, irregular man, is never constant, never certain.
There is such sweet pain in parting, that I could hang forever on thine arms and look away my life into thine eyes.
'Tis in my head; 'tis in my heart; 'tis everywhere; it rages like a madness, and I most wonder how my reason holds.
Silence is the ecstatic bliss of souls, that by intelligence converse.
Welcome as happy tidings after fears.
O woman! lovely woman! Nature made thee to temper man; we had been brutes without you. Angels are painted lair, to look like you; there is in you all that we believe of heaven—amazing brightness, purity, and truth, eternal joy, and everlasting love.
