When Nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it."

"Wise men are not wise at all hours, and will speak five times from their taste or their humor, to once from their reason."

"Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit."

"Work and thou canst escape the reward; whether the work be fine or course, planting corn or writing epics, so only it be honest work, done to thine own approbation, it shall earn a reward to the senses as well as to the thought."

Wherever there is power there is age.
