More quotes by Ben Jonson
There is no doctrine will do good where nature is wanting.
Ben Jonson
He threatens many that hath injured one.
Ben Jonson
Follow a shadow, it still flies you, Seem to fly, it will pursue: So court a mistress, she denies you Let her alone, she will court you. Say are not women truly, then, Styled but the shadows of us men?
Ben Jonson
Success hath made me wanton.
Ben Jonson
Prevent your day at morning.
Ben Jonson
Woman, the more careful she is about her face, the more careless about her house.
Ben Jonson
Peace is never more than one thought away.
Ben Jonson
Poor worms, they hiss at me, whilst I at home Can be contented to applaud myself, . . . with joy To see how plump my bags are and my barns.
Ben Jonson
I glory, more in the cunning purchase of my wealth than in the glad possession.
Ben Jonson
I would rather have a plain down-right wisdom than a foolish and affected eloquence.
Ben Jonson
The world knows only two, that's Rome and I.
Ben Jonson
Court a mistress, she denies you let her alone, she will court you.
Ben Jonson
The covetous man never has money. The prodigal will have none shortly.
Ben Jonson
Fortune, thou hadst no deity, if men Had wisdom.
Ben Jonson
How near to good is what is fair!
Ben Jonson
Queen and huntress, chaste and fair Now the sun is laid to sleep, Seated in thy silver chair, State in wonted manner keep: Hesperus entreats thy light Goddess, excellently bright.
Ben Jonson
The way to rise is to obey and please.
Ben Jonson
Many might go to heaven with half the labour they go to hell, if they would venture their industry the right way.
Ben Jonson
Forbear, you things That stand upon the pinnacles of state, To boast your slippery height! when you do fall, You dash yourselves in pieces, ne'er to rise: And he that lends you pity, is not wise.
Ben Jonson
Blueness doth express trueness.
Ben Jonson
