C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.
John Webster
Detraction is the sworn friend to ignorance.
Flatterers are but the shadows of princes’ bodies; the least thick cloud makes them invisible.
Integrity of life is fame’s best friend.
Let guilty men remember their black deeds do lean on crutches made of slender reeds.
Perfumes, the more they are chafed, the more they render their pleasant scents; and so affliction expresseth virtue fully.
Poor maids have more lovers than husbands.
Sorrow is held the eldest child of sin.
