For all a rhetorician's rules Teach nothing but to name his tools

For brevity is very good, where we are, or are not understood

Learning is like a great house that requires a great charge to keep it in repair

Gold is the soul of all civil life, that can resolve all things into itself, and turn itself into all things

There is no mistake so great as that of being always right

For those that fly may fight again, Which he can never do that's slain

That vice pays homage to virtue is notorious; we call it hypocrisy

Compound for sins they are inclined to, by damning those they have no mind to

Besides 'tis known he could speak Greek, As naturally as pigs squeak

Love is a boy, by poets styled, Then spare the rod, and spoil the child

He made an instrument to know If the moon shine at full or no

And prove their doctrine orthodox By apostolic blows and knocks

God cannot alter the past, that is why he is obliged to connive at the existence of historians

While to deny the existence of an unseen kingdom is bad, to pretend that we know more about it than its bare existence is no better

He was born stupid and greatly improved his birthright
