Like Cato, give his little senate laws, and sit attentive to his own applause.
From Alexander Pope
Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?
Get place and wealth, if possible with grace; if not, by any means get wealth and place.
Gentle dullness ever loves a joke.
If a man's character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold; Alike fantastic, if too new, or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
So vast is art, so narrow human wit.
An honest man's the noblest work of God.
They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.
A wit with dunces, and a dunce with wits.
