And Tragedy should blush as much to stoop To the low mimic follies of a farce, As a grave matron would to dance with girls.

Death's dark way Must needs be trodden once, however we pause.

Govern your temper, which will rule you unless kept in subjection.

Anger is momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you.

Don't yield to that alluring witch, laziness, or else be prepared to surrender all that you have won in your better moments.

A word once uttered can never be recalled.

Men more quickly and more gladly recall what they deride than what they approve and esteem.
