As night the life-inclining stars best shows, So lives obscure the starriest souls disclose.
Let pride go afore, shame will follow after.
Virtue is not malicious; wrong done her Is righted even when men grant they err.
Promise is most given when the least is said.
An Englishman, being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion.
He is at no end of his actions blestWhose ends will make him greatest, and not best.
