Come Sleep! Oh Sleep, the certain knot of peace, the baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe, the poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, the indifferent judge between the high and low.

The ingredients of health and long life, are great temperance, open air, easy labor, and little care.

Provision is the foundation of hospitality, and thrift the fuel of magnificence.

Scoffing cometh not of wisdom.

Like the air-invested heron, great persons should conduct themselves; and the higher they be, the less they should show.

Gold can gild a rotten stick, and dirt sully an ingot.

O sweet woods, the delight of solitariness!
