William Congreve Quotes:
Ocupation: Playwright
Life: January 24, 1670 - January 19, 1729
Birthday: January 24
Death: January 19
Would any thing but a madman complain of uncertainty? Uncertainty and expectation are joys of life; security is an insipid thing; and the overtaking and possessing of a wish discovers the folly of the chase.
