He [William Harvey] did not care for chymistrey, and was wont to speake against them with an undervalue.
To speake of an Vsurer at the table marres the wine.
Men speake of the faire, as things went with them there.
Children and fooles speake true.
Speake not of a dead man at the table.
Speake fitly, or be silent wisely.
Better speake truth rudely, then lye covertly.
