Heaven prepares good men with crosses; but no ill can happen to a good man.
Poets are far rarer birds than kings.
The covetous man never has money. The prodigal will have none shortly.
Spread yourself upon his bosom publicly, whose heart you would eat in private.
It is virtue that gives glory; that will endenizen a man everywhere.
The man that is once hated, both his good and his evil deeds oppress him.
