The joke loses everything when the joker laughs himself.
Virtue is no empty echo.
A brave man hazards life, but not his conscience.
He cannot complain of a hard sentence, who is made master of his own fate.
The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.
To be man's tender mate was woman born, and in obeying nature she best serves the purposes of heaven.
