More Quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer
Patience is a conquering virtue.
In the stars is written the death of every man.
The life so brief, the art so long in the learning, the attempt so hard, the conquest so sharp, the fearful joy that ever slips away so quickly - by all this I mean love, which so sorely astounds my feeling with its wondrous operation, that when I think upon it I scarce know whether I wake or sleep.
Many a true word is spoken in jest
Time and tide wait for no man.
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.
Strike while the iron is hot.
The devil can only destroy those who are already on their way to damnation.
The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.
Truth is the highest thing that man may keep.
