A withered serving-man makes a fresh tapster. A sentence is but a cheveril glove to a good wit. A drunken man's like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman: one draught above heat makes him a fool; the second mads him; and a third drowns him. A murd'rous guilt shews not itself more soon Than love that would seem hid: love's night is noon. As surfeit is the father of much fast, After execution, judgment hath Authority, though it err like others, Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself, That skins the vice o' the top. A victory is twice itself, when the achiever brings home full numbers. A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. An two men ride of a horse, one must ride behind. All pride is willing pride. A giving hand, though foul, shall have fair praise. A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind. A light heart lives long. A jest's prosperity lies in the ear of him that hears it. All things that are, Are with more spirit chased than enjoyed. A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross. A light wife doth make a heavy husband. All that glisters is not gold. As all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly. All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. All's brave that youth mounts and folly guides. A woman's thought runs before her actions. Aged honour cites a virtuous youth. A young man married is a man that's marr'd. A good traveller is something at the latter end of a dinner; but one that lies three-thirds, and uses a known truth to pass a thousand nothings with, should be once heard, and thrice beaten. All's well that ends well; still the fine's the crown; Whate'er the course, the end is the renown. |
