Reason gains all people by compelling none.
Man is the circled oak; woman the ivy.
Mischief and malice grow on the same branch of the tree of evil.
Birth is a shadow. Courage, self-sustained, outlords succession's phlegm, and needs no ancestors.
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.
Shame on those breasts of stone that cannot melt in soft adoption of another's sorrow.
