A man of honour should never forget what he is because he sees what others are.
Keep expectation alive. Keep stirring it up. Let much promise more, and great deeds herald greater.
The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.
Hope has a good memory, gratitude a bad one.
Courtesy is the politic witchery of great personages.
One who was abhorred by all in prosperity is adored by all in adversity.
