“So, when my days of impotence approach,
And I’m by pox and wine’s unlucky chance
Forced from the pleasing billows of debauch
On the dull shore of lazy temperance,
My pains at least some respite shall afford
While I behold the battles you maintain
When fleets of glasses sail about the board,
From whose broadsides volleys of wit shall rain.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
“Were I a king, I could command content;
Were I obscure, hidden should be my cares;”
—Edward De Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (1550–1604)
“An attitude of philosophic doubt, of suspended judgment, is repugnant to the natural man. Belief is an independent joy to him.”
