Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

For those that run away and fly,
Take place at least o' the enemy.

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.

Like feather bed betwixt a wall
And heavy brunt of cannon ball.

With many a stiff thwack, many a bang, Hard crab-tree and old iron rang. - Samuel Butler
