Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

What makes all doctrines plain and clear?
About two hundred pounds a year.
And that which was prov'd true before
Prove false again? Two hundred more.

As men of inward light are wont
To turn their optics in upon 't.

As the ancients
Say wisely, have a care o' th' main chance,
And look before you ere you leap;
For as you sow, ye are like to reap.

Quoth she, I 've heard old cunning stagers Say fools for arguments use wagers. - Samuel Butler
