For the subtlest folly proceeds from the subtlest wisdom.

Man is most happy, when his own actions are arguments and examples of his virtue.

The chiefest action for a man of great spirit is never to be out of action... the soul was never put into the body to stand still.

A politician is the devil's quilted anvil; He fashions all sins on him, and the blows are never heard.

Gold that buys health can never be ill spent, Nor hours laid out in harmless merriment.

Sorrow is held the eldest child of sin.

I am Duchess of Malfi still.
