Constancy is the chimera of love. [ Vauvenargues ]
Constancy is the basis of all the virtues. [ Motto ]
Love on his lips and hatred in his heart:
His motto - constancy, his creed - to part. [ Byron ]
I have sworn deep oaths of thy deep kindness,
Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy;
I have sworn thee fair. [ William Shakespeare ]
The secret of success is constancy to purpose. [ Earl Of Beaconsfield ]
The slaves of custom and established mode,
With pack-horse constancy, we keep the road
Crooked or straight, through quags or thorny dells,
True to the jingling of our leader's bells. [ Cowper ]
Hang constancy! you know too much of the world to be constant, sure. [ Fielding ]
The constancy of the benefit of the year in their seasons argues a Diety. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]
The opposites of apparent chance are constancy and sensible interposition. [ Paley ]
There is no courage but in innocence, no constancy but in an honest cause. [ Southern ]
In love, if inconstancy gives some pleasure, constancy alone gives happiness. [ Trublet ]
Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth: but trust and pity, love and constancy, they do. [ Dickens ]
In misfortune we often mistake dejection for constancy; we bear it without daring to look on it; like cowards, who suffer themselves to be murdered without resistance. [ Rochefoucauld ]
People who love once in their lives are really shallow people. What they call their loyalty and their fidelity is either the lethargy of custom or lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what constancy is to the intellectual life, simply a confession of failure. [ Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Grey ]
Nothing makes a woman more esteemed by the opposite sex than chastity; whether it be that we always prize those most who are hardest to come at, or that nothing besides chastity, with its collateral attendants, truth, fidelity, and constancy, gives the man a property in the person he loves, and consequently endears her to him above all things. [ Addison ]
