Riches, the dumb god that giv'st all men tongues, / That canst do nought, and yet mak'st men do all things; / The price of souls; even hell, with thee to boot, / Is made worth heaven!

Those that merely talk and never think, That live in the wild anarchy of drink.

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
