More Quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer
Truth is the highest thing that man may keep.
The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.
It is nought good a sleping hound to wake.
Forbid us something, and that thing we desire.
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.
Great peace is found in little busy-ness.
I am not the rose, but I have lived near the rose.
The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Many a true word is spoken in jest
