Fortune, thou hadst no deity, if men Had wisdom.
He that is respectless in his courses oft sells his reputation at cheap market.

A good poet's made as well as born.

Very few men are wise by their own council, or learned by their own teaching. For he that was only taught by himself, had a fool for a master.
