Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.

Laws that only threaten, and are not kept, become like the log that was given to the frogs to be their king, which they feared at first, but soon scorned and trampled on.

Give the devil his due.

There is no greater folly in the world than for a man to despair.

Though Gods attributes are equal, yet his mercy is more attractive and pleasing in our eyes than his justice.

'Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.

For hope is always born at the same time as love.
