Great Negative, how vainly would the Wise
Enquire, define, distinguish, teach, devise,
Didst thou not stand to point their dull Philosophies? Is, or is not, the Two great Ends of Fate,
And, true or false, the Subject of Debate,
That perfect, or destroy, the vast Designs of Fate.

John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester
There's not a thing on earth that I can name,
So foolish, and so false, as common fame.
So foolish, and so false, as common fame.
