I have been at my book; and am now past the craggy paths of study, and come to the flowery plains of honour and reputation
Drink today, and drown all sorrow; You shall perhaps not do it tomorrow; Best, while you have it, use your breath; There is no drinking after death.
Affliction teacheth a wicked person sometime to pray; prosperity never.
Fortune, thou hadst no deity, if men Had wisdom.
Our whole life is like a play.
Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup And I'll not look for wine.
