Wishing of all employments is the worst
We nothing know, but what is marvellous; Yet what is marvellous, we can't believe.
Ne'er to meet, or ne'er to part, is peace.
And friend received with thumps upon the back.
Satire recoils whenever charged too high; round your own fame the fatal splinters fly.
Be wise today; 'tis madness to defer. Next day the fatal precedent will plead; thus on, til wisdom is pushed our of life.
