You must not think, sir, to catch old birds with chaff.
I would do what I pleased, and doing what I pleased, I should have my will, and having my will, I should be contented; and when one is contented, there is no more to be desired; and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.
Thou art a cat, and a rat, and a coward.
He who sings frightens away his ills.
Make yourself honey and the flies will devour you.
Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.
