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.
Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it.
Wit and woman are two frail things, and both the frailer by concurring.
A flatterer is the shadow of a fool.
Nature is God's. Art is man's instrument.
Beauty is only skin deep.
