Thomas Shadwell

Hope is a very thin diet.

And wit's the noblest frailty of the mind.

I am, out of the ladies' company, like a fish out of the water.

Words may be false and full of art; Sighs are the natural language of the heart.

The haste of a fool is the slowest thing in the world.

No man is happy but by comparison.

Every man loves what he is good at.
