Old friends are best.
From John Selden
A king is a thing men have made for their own sakes, for quietness sake. Just as in a family one man is appointed to buy the meat.
It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess.
Idolatry is in a man's own thought, not in the opinion of another.
Pleasure is nothing else but the intermission of pain.
The world cannot be governed without juggling.
They that are against superstition oftentimes run into it of the wrong side. If I wear all colors but black, then I am superstitious in not wearing black.
Wise people say nothing in dangerous times.
They that govern the most make the least noise.
Philosophy is nothing but discretion.
