George Chapman Quotes

They're only truly great who are truly good.

Young men think old men are fools, but old men know young men are fools.

Danger, the spur of all great minds.

Promise is most given when the least is said.

Let no man under value the price of a virtuous woman's counsel.

Flatterers look like friends, as wolves like dogs.

And let a scholar all earth's volumes carry, he will be but a walking dictionary: a mere articulate clock.

Pure innovation is more gross than error.

For one heat, all know, does drive out another,One passion does expel another still.

Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects.

Extreme heat kills, and so extreme cold: extreme love breeds satiety, and so extreme hatred; and too violent rigor tempts chastity, as does too much license.

An Englishman, being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion.

Young men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are fools.

For one heat, all know, does drive out another, One passion does expel another still.
