The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves.
From John Dryden
And love's the noblest frailty of the mind.
Great wits are sure to madness near allied, and thin partitions do their bounds divide.
It is madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because by herself she is nothing and is ruled by prudence.
Time, place, and action may with pains be wrought, but genius must be born; and never can be taught.
Successful crimes alone are justified.
Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are.
There is a pleasure in being mad which none but madmen know.
Self-defence is Nature's eldest law.
If you be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams - the more they are condensed the deeper they burn.
