More Quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer
Patience is a conquering virtue.
It is nought good a sleping hound to wake.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Forbid us something, and that thing we desire.
All good things must come to an end.
The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.
Truth is the highest thing that man may keep.
He who accepts his poverty unhurt I'd say is rich although he lacked a shirt. But truly poor are they who whine and fret and covet what they cannot hope to get.
For there is one thing I can safely say: that those bound by love must obey each other if they are to keep company long. Love will not be constrained by mastery; when mastery comes, the God of love at once beats his wings, and farewell he is gone. Love is a thing as free as any spirit; women naturally desire liberty, and not to be constrained like slaves; and so do men, if I shall tell the truth.
Time and tide wait for no man.
