Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.

Thy books should, like thy friends, not many be/Yet such wherein men may thy judgment see.

Go to your business, pleasure, whilst I go to my pleasure, business.

A good name is seldom got by giving it oneself.

I weigh the man, not his title; 'tis not the king's stamp can make the metal better.

A mistress should be like a little country retreat near the town, not to dwell in constantly, but only for a night and away.

Come, for my part I will have only those glorious, manly pleasures of being very drunk, and very slovenly.
