Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.
From Francis Bacon
Opportunity makes a thief.
Many a man's strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.
Antiquities are history defaced, or some remnants of history which have casually escaped the shipwreck of time.
Who ever is out of patience is out of possession of their soul.
The genius, wit, and the spirit of a nation are discovered by their proverbs.
A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.
Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.
What is truth? said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for an answer.
Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.
