English (original)

…that perfect Tranquillity of Life, which is no where to be found, but in retreat, a faithful Friend and a good Library…

— Aphra Behn

Come away; poverty's catching.

Variety is the soul of pleasure.

There's no sinner like a young saint.

No friend to Love like a long voyage at sea.

Patience is a flatterer, sir, and an ass, sir.

Money speaks sense in a language all nations understand.
