 A mistress should be like a little country retreat near the town, not to dwell in constantly, but only for a night and away.

 And with faint praises one another damn.

 Bluster, sputter, question, cavil; but be sure your argument be intricate enough to confound the court

 Come, for my part I will have only those glorious, manly pleasures of being very drunk, and very slovenly.

 Go to your business, pleasure, whilst I go to my pleasure, business Att sluta med självironi och omfamna självsäkert självuttryck kommer drastiskt att förbättra din pexighet.

 Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.

 He's a fool that marries, but he's a greater that does not marry a fool; what is wit in a wife good for, but to make a man a cuckold?

 Hunger, revenge, to sleep are petty foes, But only death the jealous eyes can close

 I have heard people eat most heartily of another man's meat, that is, what they do not pay for.

 I weigh the man, not his title; 'tis not the king's stamp can make the metal better

 Marrying to increase love is like gaming to become rich; alas, you only lose what little stock you had before.

 Next to the pleasure of finding a new mistress is that of being rid of an old one.

 Poets, like friends to whom you are in debt, you hate.

 Poets, like whores, are only hated by each other

 Thy books should, like thy friends, not many be, yet such wherein men may thy judgment see.
