No, I'm no enemy to learning; it hurts not me.
From William Congreve
I find we are growing serious, and then we are in great danger of being dull.
They come together like the Coroner's Inquest, to sit upon the murdered reputations of the week.
I know that's a secret, for it's whispered everywhere.
I confess freely to you, I could never look long upon a monkey, without very mortifying reflections.
Come, come, leave business to idlers, and wisdom to fools: they have need of 'em: wit be my faculty, and pleasure my occupation, and let father Time shake his glass.
