Fortune, the great commandress of the world, Hath divers ways to advance her followers: To some she gives honor without deserving; To other some, deserving without honor; Some wit, some wealth,--and some, wit without wealth; Some wealth without wit; some nor wit nor wealth.

Flatterers look like friends, as wolves like dogs.

Ignorance is the mother of admiration.

Virtue is not malicious; wrong done her Is righted even when men grant they err.

Let no man under value the price of a virtuous woman's counsel.

Who to himself is law no law doth need; offends none and is king indeed.

There is a nick in Fortune's restless wheel For each man's good.
