The plagiarism committed by today's academics only seems new

 Their fox-like thefts are so rank, as a man may find whole pages usurped from one author.

-- Ben Jonson

How to reap the whirlwind

 I'd be torn in pieces ere I'd trust a woman

With wind.

 

-- Ben Jonson

Follow the money

 They follow virtue for reward to-day;

To-morrow vice, if she give better pay:

We are so good, or bad, just at a price;

For nothing else discerns the virtue or vice.

-- Ben Jonson

Rod Dreher, poor wretch, has announced that his wife has filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage

Those domestick traitors, bosom-thieves,

Whom custom hath call'd wives; the

readiest helps

To betray the heady husbands,

rob the easy.

 

-- Ben Jonson

The urge to cancel others is natural, a feature of mingled human nature, good and ill together

 Begone, or else let me. 'Tis bane to draw

The same air with thee.

 

-- Ben Jonson

There are miracles, and then there are wonders

It was near a miracle to see an old man silent,

since talking is the disease of age;

but, amongst cups, makes fully a wonder.

-- Ben Jonson

The man that is once hated . . .

 

 

The man that is once hated,

both his good and his evil deeds oppress him;

he is not easily emergent.

-- Ben Jonson (1572-1637)
