Money speaks sense in a language all nations understand.

— Aphra Behn

Come away; poverty's catching.

Variety is the soul of pleasure.

No friend to Love like a long voyage at sea.

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

There's no sinner like a young saint.

One hour of right-down love is worth an age of dully living on.
