Forbids

Famous quotes containing the word forbids:

    Business by no means forbids pleasures; on the contrary, they reciprocally season each other; and I will venture to affirm that no man enjoys either in perfection that does not join both.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Life’s brief span [vitae summa brevis] forbids us to enter on far-reaching hopes.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)

    My mind to me a kingdom is;
    Such present joys therein I find
    That it excels all other bliss
    That earth affords or grows by kind.
    Though much I want which most would have,
    Yet still my mind forbids to crave.
    Sir Edward Dyer (c. 1540–1607)
