Money speaks sense in a language all nations understand.
From Aphra Behn
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.
That perfect tranquillity of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.
Variety is the soul of pleasure.
Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret.
Faith, sir, we are here today, and gone tomorrow.
One hour of right-down love is worth an age of dully living on.
Nothing is more capable of troubling our reason, and consuming our health, than secret notions of jealousy in solitude.
He that knew all that learning ever writ, Knew only this - that he knew nothing yet.
