Urgent necessity prompts many to do things, at the very thoughts of which they perhaps would start at other times.

Sleep is the best cure for waking troubles.

The treason pleases, but the traitors are odious.

I would do what I pleased, and doing what I pleased, I should have my will, and having my will, I should be contented; and when one is contented, there is no more to be desired; and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.

Leap out of the frying pan into the fire.

I shall be as secret as the grave.

Here lies a gentleman bold Who was so very brave He went to lengths untold, And on the brink of the grave Death had on him no hold. By the world he set small store-- He frightened it to the core-- Yet somehow, by Fate's plan, Though he'd lived a crazy man, When he died he was sane once more.
