Reason is a crutch for age, but youth is strong enough to walk alone.
From John Dryden
The sooner you treat your son as a man, the sooner he will be one.
Never was patriot yet, but was a fool.
Tomorrow do thy worst, I have lived today.
Look around the inhabited world; how few know their own good, or knowing it, pursue.
You see through love, and that deludes your sight, As what is straight seems crooked through the water.
The first is the law, the last prerogative.
All things are subject to decay and when fate summons, monarchs must obey.
By education most have been misled; So they believe, because they were bred. The priest continues where the nurse began, And thus the child imposes on the man.
Love is not in our choice but in our fate.
