Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

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.

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

While the honour thou hast got
Is spick and span new.

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