Sir John Denham
» Ambition » “Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals.”
» Angels » “We are never like angels till our passion dies.”
» Books and Reading » “Books should to one of these fours ends conduce, for wisdom, piety, delight, or use.”
» Knowledge » “Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.”
» Translation » “Nor ought a genius less than his that writ attempt translation.”
» Youth » “Youth, what man’s age is like to be, doth show; We may our ends by our beginnings know.”
