Off with his head—; so much for Buckingham.

— Colley Cibber

Possession is eleven points in the law.

Our hours in love have wings; in absence, crutches.

As good be out of the world as out of the fashion.

Prithee don’t screw your wit beyond the compass of good manners.

Words are but empty thanks.

Oh, how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring!
