'Tis an old saying, the Devil lurks behind the cross. All is not gold that glitters. From the tail of the plough, Bamba was made King of Spain; and from his silks and riches was Rodrigo cast to be devoured by the snakes.

Take care, your worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills.

It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.

Every one is the son of his own works.

I do not say a proverb is amiss when aptly and reasonably applied, but to be forever discharging them, right or wrong, hit or miss, renders conversation insipid and vulgar.

Under a bad cloak there is often a good drinker

The most difficult character in comedy is that of the fool, and he must be no simpleton that plays that part.

Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all’s fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he’s no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he’s neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach’d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and tho’ you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men’s lives, which he guggles down like mother’s milk.

I know who I am, and I know too that I am capable of being not only the characters I have named, but all the Twelve Peers of France, and all the Nine Worthies as well.

Those who'll play with cats must expect to be scratched

Make yourself honey and the flies will devour you.

All music jars when the soul is out of tune

He who sings frightens away his ills.
