George Savile

No man is so much a fool as not to have wit enough sometimes to be a knave; nor any so cunning a knave as not to have the weakness sometimes to play the fool.

Nothing has an uglier look to us than reason, when it is not on our side.

A princely mind will undo a private family.

Our nature hardly allows us to have enough of anything without having too much.

Education is what remains when we have forgotten all that we have been taught.

The vanity of teaching doth oft tempt a man to forget that he is a blockhead.

Popularity is a crime from the moment it is sought; it is only a virtue where men have it whether they will or no.
