There are many wise men that have secret hearts and transparent countenances.
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
Cure the disease and kill the patient.
A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wounds green.
The mold of our fortunes is in our own hands.
