Who said “Musique and women I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.”?

“If music be the food of love; play on.”

“Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie.”

“Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.”

“Music is spiritual. The music business is not.”

“Good music is very close to primitive language.”

“Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody.”

“I went out to Charing Cross to see Major General Harrison hanged, drawn, and quartered; which was done there, he looking as cheerful as any man could in that condition.”

“The truth is, I do indulge myself a little the more in pleasure, knowing that this is the proper age of my life to do it; and, out of my observation that most men that do thrive in the world do forget to take pleasure during the time that they are getting their estate, but reserve that till they have got one, and then it is too late for them to enjoy it.”

“Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.”

“As happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!”

“Saw a wedding in the church. It was strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition.”
