Don't yield to that alluring witch, laziness, or else be prepared to surrender all that you have won in your better moments.
The covetous person is full of fear; and he or she who lives in fear will ever be a slave.
Necessity takes impartially the highest and the lowest.
Even virtue followed beyond reason's rule May stamp the just man knave, the sage a fool.
Strength, wanting judgment and policy to rule, overturneth itself.
Glory drags all men along, low as well as high, bound captive at the wheels of her glittering car.
