Courage is poorly housed that dwells in numbers; the lion never counts the herd that are about him, nor weighs how many flocks he has to scatter.
Youth is ever apt to judge in haste, and lose the medium in the wild extreme.
Man is the circled oak; woman the ivy.
Hide not thy tears; weep boldly, and be proud to give the flowing virtue manly way; it is nature's mark to know an honest heart by.
Law that shocks equity is reason's murderer.
Birth is a shadow. Courage, self-sustained, outlords succession's phlegm, and needs no ancestors.
