John Florio Quotes

“England is the paradise of women, the purgatory of men, and the hell of horses.”

“Who has not served cannot command.”

“To long for that which comes not. To lie a-bed and sleep not. To serve well and please not. To have a horse that goes not. To have a man obeys not. To lie in jail and hope not. To be sick and recover not. To lose ones way and know not. To wait at door and enter not, and to have a friend we trust not: are ten such spites as hell hath not.”
