Do you not weep? Other sins only speak; murder shrieks out. The element of water moistens the earth, But blood flies upwards and bedews the heavens.
Ambition, madam, is a great man's madness.
Man may his fate foresee, but not prevent. 'Tis better to be fortunate than wise.
Man is most happy, when his own actions are arguments and examples of his virtue.
Heaven fashioned us of nothing; and we strive to bring ourselves to nothing.
Were there no heaven nor hell I should be honest.
