Nothing has an uglier look to us than reason, when it is not on our side.
From George Savile
If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers.
Many men swallow the being cheated, but no man can ever endure to chew it.
Most men make little use of their speech than to give evidence against their own understanding.
Malice is of a low stature, but it hath very long arms.
Hope is generally a wrong guide, though it is good company along the way.
The best way to suppose what may come, is to remember what is past.
Our nature hardly allows us to have enough of anything without having too much.
The vanity of teaching doth oft tempt a man to forget that he is a blockhead.
Education is what remains when we have forgotten all that we have been taught.
