I hate the man who eats without knowing what he’s eating. I doubt his taste in more important things.

A man may do very well with a very little knowledge, and scarce be found out in mixed company; everybody is so much more ready to produce his own, than to call for a display of your acquisitions.

Whose wit in the combat, as gentle as bright, Ne'er carried a heart-stain away on its blade.

He who hath not a dram of folly in his mixture hath pounds of much worse matter in his composition.

It is good to love the unknown.

Pain is life - the sharper, the more evidence of life.

May my last breath be drawn through a pipe, and exhaled in a jest.
