Who knoweth if to die be but to live, and that called life by mortals be but death?
Too much zeal offends where indirection works.
The brave venture anything.
Life is short; this being so, who would pursue great things and not bear with what is at hand? These are the ways of madmen and men of evil counsel, at least in my judgment.
It is better that we live ever so Miserably than die in glory.
Dishonor will not trouble me, once I am dead.
