John Lyly

A merry companion is as good as a wagon For you shall be sure to ride though ye go a foot.

[Beauty is] a delicate bait with a deadly hook; a sweet panther with a devouring paunch, a sour poison in a silver pot.

Instruments sound sweetest when they are touched softest.

He that loseth his honesty hath nothing else to lose.

A merry companion is as good as a wagon.

Lips are no part of the head, only made for a double-leaf door for the mouth.

A clear conscience is a sure card.

The true measure of life is not length, but honesty.

Night hath a thousand eyes.

Where the mind is past hope, the heart is past shame.

We might knit that knot with our tongues that we shall never undo with our teeth.

The finest edge is made with the blunt whetstone.

As the best wine doth make the sharpest vinegar, so the deepest love turneth to the deadliest hate.

The greater the kindred is, the lesse the kindnesse must bee.

In misery it is great comfort to have a companion.

Marriages are made in heaven and consummated on Earth.

To give reason for fancy were to weigh the fire, and measure the wind.

The sun shineth upon the dunghill, and is not corrupted.
