No man is more than another unless he does more than another.
A knowledge of thyself will preserve thee from vanity.
Nor has his death the world deceiv'd than his wondrous life surprise d; if he like a madman liv'd least he like a wise one dy'd.
The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.
Make yourself honey and the flies will devour you.
Be slow of tongue and quick of eye.
