Now, by St. Paul, the work goes bravely on.

— Colley Cibber

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

Words are but empty thanks.

Possession is eleven points in the law.

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

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

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