Wit is brushwood; judgment, timber; the one gives the greatest flame, the other yields the most durable heat; and both meeting make the best fire.
A flatterer is the shadow of a fool.
Wit and woman are two frail things, and both the frailer by concurring.
Nature is God's. Art is man's instrument.
Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it.
Beauty is only skin deep.
