Dryden, John (John Dryden)

Beware the fury of a patient man.
-- John Dryden

Democracy is essentially anti-authoritarian--that is, it not only demands the right but imposes the responsibility of thinking for ourselves.
-- John Dryden

Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions--it only guarantees equality of opportunity.
-- John Dryden

Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow;
He who would search for pearls must dive below.

All for Love


-- John Dryden

Great wits are sure to madness near allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide.

Absalom and Achitophel


-- John Dryden

A man is to be cheated into passion, but to be reasoned into truth.
-- John Dryden
