Virtue that wavers is not virtue, but vice revolted from itself, and after a while returning. The actions of just and pious men do not darken in their middle course.
Rocks whereon greatest men have oftest wreck'd.
Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.
A short retirement urges a sweet return.
Deep vers'd in books, and shallow in himself.
This manner of writing wherein knowing myself inferior to myself? I have the use, as I may account it, but of my left hand.
