"It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess." — John Selden

Tis not seasonable to call a man traitor, that has an army at his heels.

No man is the wiser for his learning; it may administer matter to work in, or objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a man.

They that govern the most make the least noise.

They that are against superstition oftentimes run into it of the wrong side. If I wear all colors but black, then I am superstitious in not wearing black.
