Ben Jonson

“Drink to me only with thine eyes, and I will pledge with mine.”

“Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak and to speak well are two things.”

“He that is not handsome at twenty, nor strong at thirty, nor rich at forty, nor wise at fifty, will never be handsome, strong, rich, or wise.”

“He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity.”
