Quote by Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

• When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.

• Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through.

• May you live every day of your life.

• A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.

• One of the best rules in conversation is, never to say a thing which any of the company can reasonably wish had been left unsaid.

• Ambition often puts men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same posture with creeping.
