The doings of men, their prayers, fear, wrath, pleasure, delights, and recreations, are the subject of this book.

Dare to do something worthy of transportation and a prison, if you mean to be anybody.

Those who desire to become rich, desire it at once.

The guilty are alarmed and turn pale at the slightest thunder.

The only gain from the friendship of the great is a fine dinner.

Honesty's praised, then left to freeze.

For women's tears are but the sweat of eyes.
