Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven.
Francis Beaumont
Oh, love will make a dog howl in rhyme.
Envy, like the worm, never runs but to the fairest fruit; like a cunning bloodhound, it singles out the fattest deer in the flock.
Kiss till the cow comes home.
Nothing's so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy.
It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it.
You are no better than you should be.
But what is past my help is past my care.
Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.
The true way to gain much, is never to desire to gain too much.
Interest makes some people blind, and others quick-sighted.
There is a method in man's wickedness; it grows up by degrees.
Bad's the best of us.
