Robert Burton

Quotes

• “All my joys to this are folly / Naught so sweet as melancholy.”

• “I had not time to lick it into form, as a bear doth her young ones.”

• “Like the watermen that row one way and look another.”

• “Every other sin hath some pleasure annexed to it, or will admit of an excuse; envy alone wants both. Other sins last but for awhile; the gut may be satisfied, anger remits, hatred hath an end, envy never ceaseth.”

• “Can build castles in the air.”
