Wish to be what you are, and wish for no other position.
Live thy life as it were spoil and pluck the joys that fly.
I know all that better than my own name.
You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for!
It is easy in adversity to despise death; he has real fortitude who dares to live and be wretched.
Red-haired, black-lipped, club-footed, and blink-eyed; if you're a good man, you're a wonder!
