2 “ Ben Jonson:Reader, look, Not at his picture, but his book. #Books - Reading#Books - Reading

3 “ Ben Jonson: To speak and to speak well, are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks. #Speakers and Speaking#Speakers and Speaking

4 “ Ben Jonson:For a good poet's made, as well as born. #Poetry and Poets#Poetry and Poets

5 “ Ben Jonson:A good life is a main argument. #Argument#Argument

6 “ Ben Jonson:You that would last long, list to my song, Make no more coil, but buy of this oil. Would you be ever fair and young? Stout of teeth and strong of tongue? Tart of palate, quick of ear? Sharp of sight, of nostril clear? Moist of hand and light of foot? (Or, I will come nearer to it) Would you live free from all diseases, Do the act your mistress pleases; Yet fright all aches from your bones? Here's a medicine for the nones. #Marriage#Marriage

7 “ Ben Jonson: A new disease? I know not, new or old, but it may well be called poor mortals plague for, like a pestilence, it doth infect the houses of the brain till not a thought, or motion, in the mind, be free from the black poison of suspect. #Suspicion#Suspicion

8 “ Ben Jonson:One, though he be excellent and the chief, is not to be imitated alone; for never no imitator ever grew up to his author; likeness is always on this side truth. Yet there happened in my time one noble speaker, who was full of gravity in his speaking; his language (where he could spare or pass by a jest) was nobly censorious. No man ever spake more neatly, more pressly, more weightily, or suffered less emptiness, less idleness, in what he uttered. No member of his speech but consisted of his own graces. His hearers could not cough, or look aside from him, without loss. He commanded where he spoke, and had his judges angry and pleased at his devotion. No man had their affections more in his power. The fear of every man that heard him was lest he should make an end. #Speakers and Speaking#Speakers and Speaking

9 “ Ben Jonson:He that fears death, or mourns it, in the just, Shows of the resurrection little trust. #Death and Dying#Death and Dying

10 “ Ben Jonson:There's reason good, that you good laws should make: Men's manners ne'er were viler, for your sake. #Law and Lawyers#Law and Lawyers

11 “ Ben Jonson:Get money; still get money, boy, No matter by what means. #Money#Money

12 “ Ben Jonson:If all you boast of your great art be true; Sure, willing poverty lives most in you. #Poverty and The Poor#Poverty and The Poor

13 “ Ben Jonson:Shakespeare, in a play, brought in a number of men saying they had suffered shipwreck in Bohemia, where there is no sea by some 100 miles. #Bohemia#Bohemia

14 “ Ben Jonson: We are persons of quality, I assure you, and women of fashion, and come to see and to be seen. #Socializing and Socialism #Socializing and Socialism

15 “ Ben Jonson: O, for an engine, to keep back all clocks, or make the sun forget his motion! #Time and Time Management#Time and Time Management

16 “ Ben Jonson:It is as great a spite to be praised in the wrong place, and by a wrong person, as can be done to a noble nature. #Praise#Praise

17 “ Ben Jonson:Not to know vice at all, and keep true state, Is virtue, and not fate: Next to that virtue is to know vice well, And her black spite expel. #Virtue#Virtue

18 “ Ben Jonson: If you be sick, your own thoughts make you sick #Illness #Illness

19 “ Ben Jonson:The dignity of truth is lost With much protesting. #Truth#Truth

20 “ Ben Jonson:I now think, Love is rather deaf, than blind, For else it could not be, That she, Whom I adore so much, should so slight me, And cast my love behind. #Love#Love

21 “ Ben Jonson:Who casts to write a living line, must sweat. #Writers and Writing#Writers and Writing
