Pepys, Samuel
Quotations
Greatest businesses are done so
superficially
Had no more manners than to invite me
and to let me pay
Had his hand cut off, and was hanged
presently!
Had what pleasure almost I would with
her
Had the umbles of it for dinner
Half a pint of Rhenish wine at the
Still-yard, mixed with beer
Hanged with a silken halter
Hanging jack to roast birds on
Hard matter to settle to business after
so much leisure
Hate in others, and more in myself, to
be careless of keys
Hates to have any body mention what he
had done the day before
Hath not a liberty of begging till he
hath served three years
Hath a good heart to bear, or a cunning
one to conceal his evil
Hath given her the pox, but I hope it
is not so
Have not known her this fortnight
almost, which is a pain to me
Have not any awe over them from the
King's displeasure (Commons)
Have not much to lose, and therefore
will venture all
Have been so long absent that I am
ashamed to go
Having some experience, but greater
conceit of it than is fit
He that will not stoop for a pin, will
never be worth a pound
He made but a poor sermon, but long
He has been inconvenienced by being too
free in discourse
He having made good promises, though I
fear his performance
He hoped he should live to see her
"ugly and willing"
He is too wise to be made a friend of
He was fain to lie in the priest's hole
a good while
He was charged with making himself
popular
He is, I perceive, wholly sceptical, as
well as I
He is a man of no worth in the world
but compliment
He is not a man fit to be told what one
hears
Heard noises over their head upon the
leads
Heeling her on one side to make her
draw little water
Helping to slip their calfes when there
is occasion
Her months upon her is gone to bed
Here I first saw oranges grow
Hired her to procure this poor soul for
him
His enemies have done him as much good
as he could wish
His readiness to speak spoilt all
His satisfaction is nothing worth, it
being easily got
His company ever wearys me
Holes for me to see from my closet into
the great office
Hopes to have had a bout with her
before she had gone
Houses marked with a red cross upon the
doors
How the Presbyterians would be angry if
they durst
How highly the Presbyters do talk in
the coffeehouses still
How little merit do prevail in the
world, but only favour
How little heed is had to the prisoners
and sicke and wounded
How unhappily a man may fall into a
necessity of bribing people
How natural it is for us to slight
people out of power
How little to be presumed of in our
greatest undertakings
Hugged, it being cold now in the
mornings . . . .
I took occasion to be angry with him
I could not forbear to love her
exceedingly
I do not value her, or mind her as I
ought
I did what I would, and might have done
anything else
I have itched mightily these 6 or 7
days
I know not whether to be glad or sorry
I was as merry as I could counterfeit
myself to be
I could have answered, but forbore
