Geoffrey Chaucer Quotes

"There's never a new fashion but it's old""Many a true word is spoken in jest ""Great harm proceeds from too much faith ""And though he were untruste, be diligent""Flee from the crowd and dwell with truthfulness""The lyf so short the craft so long to lerne""The guilty think all talk is of themselves""Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings often come wise sentences""I am ashamed to tell you this, but I have nothing to say""All good things must come to an end""There is nothing new but what has once been old""Beware the ire of the calm man""First he wrought, and afterward he taught""Idle hands are the devil's tools""By nature, men love newfangledness""And gladly would he learn and gladly teach""Better late than never""Forbid us something, and that thing we desire""Men speak of mirth and write of sorrow""If gold rusts, what then can iron do?"
