The Renaissance5 quotes
Boast not of what thou would'st have done, but do
What then thou would'st. — John Milton · 1671Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end;
Not wedlock-treachery. — John Milton · 1671Give me a spirit that on this life's rough sea
Loves t' have his sails filled with a lusty wind,
Even till his sail-yards tremble, his masts crack,
And his rapt ship run on her side so low
That she drinks water, and her keel plows air. — George Chapman · 1608Apt words have power to suage
The tumours of a troubled mind. — John Milton · 1671Yet beauty, though injurious, hath strange power,
After offence returning, to regain
Love once possessed. — John Milton · 1671
