Neither the praise nor the blame is our own.

As for being much known by sight, and pointed out, I cannot comprehend the honor that lies withal; whatsoever it be, every mountebank has it more than the best doctor.

The getting out of doors is the greatest part of the journey.

Acquaintance I would have, but when it depends; not on number, but the choice of friends.

All this world's noise appears to me a dull, ill-acted comedy!

There is some help for all the defects of fortune; for, if a man cannot attain to the length of his wishes, he may have his remedy by cutting of them shorter.

Hope! fortune's cheating lottery; when for one prize an hundred blanks there be!
