Strana 270 - Oft expectation fails, and most oft there Where most it promises ; and oft it hits, Where hope is coldest, and despair most sits.
Strana 22 - Shakespeare that from his works may be collected a system of civil and economical prudence ; yet his real power is not shown in the splendour of particular passages, but by the progress of his fable and the tenor of his dialogue ; and he that tries to recommend him by select quotations, will succeed like the pedant in Hierocles, who, when he offered his house to sale, carried a brick in his pocket as a specimen.
Strana xix - ... genius through the shades of age, as the eye surveys the sun through artificial opacity. The great contention of criticism is to find the faults of the moderns and the beauties of the ancients.
Strana 244 - Here we may reign secure: and in my choice. To reign is worth ambition, though in hell ; Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

Strana 191 - Tis physic, clothing, music, meat, and drink. Gods would have revell'd at their feats of Mirth With this pure distillation of the Earth ; The Marrow of the World, Star of the West, The Pearl whereby this lower Orb is blest ; The Joy of Mortals, Umpire of all Strife, Delight of Nature, Mithridate of Life ; The daintiest dish of a delicious feast, By taking which Man differs from a beast.
