About two hundred pounds a year.
And that which was prov'd true before
Prove false again? Two hundred more.

Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

No Indian prince has to his palace
More followers than a thief to the gallows.

And force them, though it was in spite
Of Nature and their stars, to write.

He knew what 's what, and that 's as high
As metaphysic wit can fly.
