To say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave towards God, and a coward towards men.

They that reverence to much old times are but a scorn to the new.

Be so true to thyself, as thou be not false to others.

Pictures and shapes are but secondary objects and please or displease only in the memory.

Excusations, cessions, modesty itself well governed, are but arts of ostentation.

Cure the disease and kill the patient.

Let no one think or maintain that a person can search too far or be too well studied in either the book of God's word or the book of God's works.
