“This rudeness is a sauce to his good wit,Which gives men stomach to digest his wordsWith better appetite.”

“thy wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most sharp sauce.”

“I may chance have someodd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me,because I have railed so long against marriage: butdoth not the appetite alter? a man loves the meatin his youth that he cannot endure in his age.Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets ofthe brain awe a man from the career of his humour?No, the world must be peopled. When I said I woulddie a bachelor, I did not think I should live till Iwere married.”

“Watch out he's winding the watch of his wit, by and by it will strike.”

“Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.”

“O momentary grace of mortal men,Which we more hunt for than the grace of God!Who builds his hopes in air of your good looks,Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast,Ready, with every nod, to tumble downInto the fatal bowels of the deep.”

“You are not worth the dust which the rude wind blows in your face”
