He that will not stoop for a pin will never be worth a pound.

Thanks be to God, since my leaving drinking of wine, I do find myself much better, and do mind my business better, and do spend less money, and less time lost in idle company.

But me thought it lessened my esteem of a king, that he should not be able to command the rain.

It having been a very cold night last night I had got some cold, and so in pain by wind, and a sure precursor of pain is sudden letting off farts, and when that stops, then my passages stop and my pain begins

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

He that will not stoop for a pin will never be worth a pound.

However, music and women I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
