Pepys, Samuel
Quotations
What they all, through profit or fear,
did promise
What a sorry dispatch these great
persons give to business
What is there more to be had of a woman
than the possessing her
Where money is free, there is great
plenty
Where I find the worst very good
Where a piece of the Cross is
Where a trade hath once been and do
decay, it never recovers
Where I expect most I find least
satisfaction
Wherein every party has laboured to
cheat another
Which he left him in the lurch
Which I did give him some hope of,
though I never intend it
Whip this child till the blood come, if
it were my child!
Whip a boy at each place they stop at
in their procession
Who is the most, and promises the
least, of any man
Who we found ill still, but he do make
very much of it
Who must except against every thing and
remedy nothing
Whose red nose makes me ashamed to be
seen with him
Willing to receive a bribe if it were
offered me
Wine, new and old, with labells pasted
upon each bottle
Wise man's not being wise at all times
Wise men do prepare to remove abroad
what they have
With much ado in an hour getting a
coach home
With a shower of hail as big as walnuts
Wonders that she cannot be as good
within as she is fair without
World sees now the use of them for
shelter of men (fore-castles)
Would make a dogg laugh
Would either conform, or be more wise,
and not be catched!
Would not make my coming troublesome to
any
Wretch, n., often used as an expression
of endearment
Wronged by my over great expectations
Ye pulling down of houses, in ye way of
ye fire
