There's not a minute of our lives should stretch
Without some pleasure now. What sport tonight?

Love's blindness

Things base and vile, folding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity:
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind:
Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste
Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste:
And therefore is Love said to be a child,
Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.

To know our enemies' minds, we'ld rip their hearts;
Their papers, is more lawful.

The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices
Make instruments to plague us.

EDMUND
Thou hast spoken right, 'tis true;
The wheel is come full circle: I am here.
