Thomas Shadwell

"Love quickly is pall'd, Tho' with labour 'tis gain'd; Wine never does cloy Tho' with ease 'tis obtain'd. We sing while you sigh, We laugh while you weep; Love robs you of rest, Wine lulls us asleep."

"And wit's the noblest frailty of the mind."

"The haste of a fool is the slowest thing in the world."

"I am, out of the ladies' company, like a fish out of the water."

"Every man loves what he is good at."
