Listeners ne'er hear good of themselves.
That which is evil is soon learned.
He dances well to whom Fortune pipes.
A maid that laughs is half taken.
The tree falls not at the first stroke.
A wonder then it must needs be,-that there should be any Man found so stupid and forsaken of reason as to persuade himself, that this most beautiful and adorned world was or could be produced by the fortuitous concourse of atoms.
