A sentence is but a cheveril glove to a good wit: how quickly the wrong side may be turned outward!
There is no darkness, but ignorance.
That orbed continent the fire that severs day from night.
Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.
Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.
What, man, defy the devil? Consider, he’s an enemy to mankind.
Such as we are made of, such we be.
O, had I but followed the arts!
Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.
If music be the food of love, play on.
I was adored once too.
I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling drunkenness, or any taint of vice.
