He that begins to live, begins to die.

I wish thee as much pleasure in the reading, as I had in the writing.

My mind's my kingdom.

It is no happiness to live long, nor unhappiness to die soon; happy is he that hath lived long enough to die well.

When the flesh presents thee with delights, then present thyself with dangers; where the world possesses thee with vain hopes, there possess thyself with true fear; when the devil brings thee oil, bring thou vinegar. The way to be safe is never to be secure.

Luxury is an enticing pleasure, a bastard mirth, which hath honey in her mouth, gall in her heart, and a sting in her tail.

The next way home's the farthest way about.
