A good king is a public servant.

Whom hatred frights, let him not dream of sovereignty.

Prevent your day at morning.

My thoughts and I were of another world.

Words borrowed of Antiquity do lend a kind of Majesty to style, and are not without their delight sometimes. For they have the authority of years, and out of their intermission do win to themselves a kind of grace-like newness. But the eldest of the present, and newest of the past Language, is the best.

Affliction teacheth a wicked person sometime to pray; prosperity never.

It is as great a spite to be praised in the wrong place, and by a wrong person, as can be done to a noble nature.
