Better a snotty child, then his nose wip'd off.
We live in an age that hath more need of good example than precepts.
Was ever grief like mine?
All came from, and will goe to others.
If thou thy selfe canst doe it, attend no others helpe or hand.
Pursue not a victory too far. He hath conquered well that hath made his enemy fly; thou mayest beat him to a desperate resistance, which may ruin thee.
