Spare feast! a radish and an egg.
Folly ends where genuine hope begins.
Forced from home, and all its pleasures, afric coast I left forlorn; to increase a stranger's treasures, o the raging billows borne. Men from England bought and sold me, paid my price in paltry gold; but, though theirs they have enroll'd me, minds are never to be sold.
Great offices will have great talents.
Books are not seldom talismans and spells.
Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
