Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

But Hudibras gave him a twitch
As quick as lightning in the breech,
Just in the place where honour's lodg'd,
As wise philosophers have judg'd;
Because a kick in that part more
Hurts honour than deep wounds before.

Love is a boy by poets styl'd;
Then spare the rod and spoil the child.

For those that fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.

He ne'er consider'd it, as loth To look a gift-horse in the mouth. - Samuel Butler
