Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that
Past and to come, seems best; things present, worse.
No worse a husband than the best of men.
Thou wert best set - thy lower part where thy nose stands
He says, he loves my daughter; I think so too; for never gaz'd the moon Upon the water, as he'll stand and read, As 'twere, my daughter's eyes: and, to be plain, I think, there is not half a kiss to choose, Who loves another best.
Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find.
Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.
Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.
I give unto my wife my second best bed with the furniture.
They say, best men are molded out of faults; And, for the most, become much more the better For being a little bad
Affection faints not like a pale-faced coward,But then woos best when most his choice is froward.
God, the best maker of all marriages,Combine your hearts in one.
In the south suburbs, at the Elephant,Is best to lodge.
The best is yet to come.
