He is the very Janus of poets; he wears almost everywhere two faces; and you have scarce begun to admire the one, ere you despise the other.
You see through love, and that deludes your sight, As what is straight seems crooked through the water.
Learn to write well, or not to write at all.
Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections.
They that possess the prince possess the laws.
All empire is no more than power in trust.
