More quotes by John Selden
Take a straw and throw it up into the air — you may see by that which way the wind is.
Humility is a virtue all preach, none practise, and yet every body is content to hear.
Few men make themselves masters of the things they write or speak.
Thou little thinkest what a little foolery governs the world.

To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
