Every man is the son of his own works.
Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.
A shy face is better than a forward heart.
Old, that's an affront no woman can well bear.
The woman who is resolved to be respected can make herself be so even amidst an army of soldiers.
The brave man carves out his fortune, and every man is the sum of his own works.
