Additional quotes by Ben Jonson

It is as great a spite to be praised in the wrong place, and by a wrong person, as can be done to a noble nature.

Truth is the trial of itself And needs no other touch, And purer than the purest gold, Refine it ne'er so much.

Lady: How do's it fit? wilt come together? Prudence: Hardly. Lad: Thou must make shift with it. Pride feels no Pain.
