Sözler ve Alıntılar
A noble birth and fortune, tho' they make not a bad man good, yet they are a real advantage to a worthy one, and place his virtues in the fairest light.
Act I scene II
"It's a general maxim among the knowing part of mankind that a woman without virtue, like a man without honor and honesty, is capable of any action, though never so vile; and yet what pains will they not take, what arts not use, to seduce us from our innocence and make us contemptible and wicked even in their own opinions ?"

Sleep has been a stranger to these eyes...
To give us sense of beauty and desires, and yet forbid us to taste and be happy, is cruelty to nature.
By laws and means well known we stand or fall, And one eternal rule remains for all.
