GEORGE VILLIERS, 2ND DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM English profligate, wit, poet, dramatist and statesman (1628 - 1687) All true love is grounded on esteem.       - [Love] For all true love is grounded on esteem.       - [Love] How few, like Daniel, have God and gold together!       - [Gold] Kisses are like grains of gold or silver found upon the ground, of no value themselves, but precious as showing that a mine is near.       - [Kisses] Make my breast transparent as pure crystal, that the world, jealous of me, may see the foulest thought my heart does hold.       - [Openness] Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.       - [Fame] Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.       - [Writing] True wit is everlasting, like the sun; describing all men, but described by none.       - [Wit] Good wits will jump.       - The Chances (act IV, sc. 1) [Wit] What the devil does the plot signify, except to bring in fine things?       - The Rehearsal [Authorship] The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
