John Selden – 1584-1654An English jurist and scholar
Few men make themselves masters of the things they write or speak.
Marriage is a desperate thing.
Pleasure is nothing else but the intermission of pain.
Thou little thinkest what a little foolery governs the whole world.
They that govern most make the least noise.
Syllables govern the world.
Wise men say nothing in dangerous times.
Preachers say, Do as I say, not as I do.
