Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence But like a thrifty goddess she determines Herself the glory of a creditor,Both thanks and use.
If she be fair and wise, fairness and wit, The one's for use, the other useth it.
When love begins to sicken and decay it uses an enforced ceremony.
I had rather be a toad, and live upon the vapor of a dungeon than keep a corner in the thing I love for others uses.
Make use of time, let not advantage slip; Beauty within itself should not be wasted: Fair flowers that are not gather'd in their prime Rot and consume themselves in little time.
Well, God give them wisdom that have it; and those that are fools, let them use their talents.
Tush! Fear not, my lord, we will not stand to prate; Talkers are no good doers: be assured We come to use our hands and not our tongues.
One that lies three thirds and uses a known truth to pass a thousand nothings with, should be once heard and thrice beaten.
I had rather be a toad And live upon the vapor of a dungeon Than keep a corner in the thing I love For others' uses

I will speak daggers to her, but use none.
Sweet are the uses of adversity; Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head
Ask me no reason why I love you; for though Love use Reason for his physician, he admits him not for his counsellor.
A good wit will make use of anything.
