Resolve to be merry though the ship were sinking.

Lying is a thriving Vocation.

Want is the mistress of invention

Nobody can boast of Honesty till they are try'd.

my present Profession is Physick - Now, when my Pockets are full, I cure a Patient in three Days; when they are empty, I keep him three Months.

I always lov'd Precaution, and took care to avoid Dangers. But when a thing was past, I ever had Philosophy to be easie.

Look-ye, 'tis my Opinion, ev'ry Man cheats in his Way. And he is only honest, who is not discover'd.
