Physicians ought not to give their judgment of religion, for the same reason that butchers are not admitted to be jurors upon life and death.

There is nothing in this world...

There is nothing in this world constant, but inconstancy.

Ingratitude is amongst them a ...

Ingratitude is amongst them a capital crime, as we read it to have been in some other countries: for they reason thus; that whoever makes ill-returns to his benefactor, must needs be a common enemy to the rest of the mankind, from where he has received no obligations and therefore such man is not fit to live.

What we call the Irish Brogue ...

With historians it is quite the contrary; our thoughts are taken up with the actions, persons, and events we read, and we little regard the authors.

Jonathan Swift 579 quotes

When a man is made a spiritual...

When a man is made a spiritual peer he loses his surname; when a temporal, his Christian name.

In church your grandsire cut his throat; to do the job too long he tarried: he should have had my hearty vote to cut his throat before he married.

For though, in nature, depth and height
Are equally held infinite:
In poetry, the height we know;
'Tis only infinite below.
