When a man's mind rides faster than his horse can gallop they quickly both tire.
See, the curse of children! In life they keep us frequently in tears, And in the cold grave leave us in pale fears.
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.
Physicians are like kings- They brook no contradiction.
Cowardly dogs bark loudest.
Vain the ambition of kings Who seek by trophies and dead things To leave a living name behind, And weave but nets to catch the wind.
