Thou art an heyre to fayre lying, that is nothing, if thou be disinherited of learning, for better were it to thee to inherite righteousnesse then riches, and far more seemly were if for thee to haue thy Studie full of bookes, then thy pursse full of mony.
Many strokes overthrow the tallest oaks.
If thy wealth waste, they wit will give but small warmth.
The greatest harm that you can do unto the envious, is to do well.
Where the mind is past hope, the heart is past shame.
I am of this mind, that might and malice, deceit and treachery perjury and impiety may lawfully be committed in love; which is lawless.
