The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

Drive your cart and your plough over the bones of the dead

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.

Enough! or Too much.

Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believ'd.

Where man is not, nature is barren.

Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.

Improvement makes straight roads; but the crooked roads without improvement are roads of Genius.

If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning.

Exuberance is Beauty.

The crow wish'd everything was black, the owl that everything was white.

As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.

The head Sublime, the heart Pathos, the genitals Beauty, the hands and feet Proportion.

Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!

Prayers plough not! Praises reap not!

The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest.

Damn braces. Bless relaxes.
