He that shuns trifles must shun the world.
Promise is most given when the least is said.
I will neither yield to the song of the siren nor the voice of the hyena, the tears of the crocodile nor the howling of the wolf.
For one heat, all know, doth drive out another, One passion doth expel another still.
Let pride go afore, shame will follow after.
Man is a torch borne in the wind; a dream But of a shadow, summed with all his substance.
