We are the men of intrinsic value, who can strike our fortunes out of ourselves, whose worth is independent of accidents in life, or revolutions in government: we have heads to get money, and hearts to spend it.

The shortest pleasures are the sweetest.

Grant me some wild expressions, Heavens, or I shall burst.

I have fed purely upon ale; I have eat my ale, drank my ale, and I always sleep upon ale.

A good husband makes a good wife at any time.

Tis a question whether adversity or prosperity makes the most poets.

Poetry's a mere drug, Sir.
