An ill weed grows apace.
He that shuns trifles must shun the world.
Be free all worthy spirits, and stretch yourselves, for greatness and for height.
Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects. Extreme heat kills, and so extreme cold: extreme love breeds satiety, and so extreme hatred; and too violent rigor tempts chastity, as does too much license.
Danger, the spur of all great minds.
Tis immortality to die aspiring, As if a man were taken quick to heaven.
