Time draweth wrinkles in a fair face, but addeth fresh colors to a fast friend, which neither heat, nor cold, nor misery, nor place, nor destiny, can alter or diminish

Be valyaunt, but not too venturous. Let thy attyre bee comely, but not costly.

Beauty - a deceitful bait with a deadly hook.

Instruments sound sweetest when they are touched softest.

The finest edge is made with the blunt whetstone.

If thy wealth waste, they wit will give but small warmth.

It is the disposition of the thought that altered the nature of the thing.
