I could not possibly count the gold-digging ruses of women, Not if I had ten mouths, not if I had ten tongues.

I see and approve better things, but follow worse.

I attempt an arduous task but there is no worth in that which is not a difficult achievement

The act is judged of by the event.

You put aside the work that's done, and seek some work to do.

Thy destiny is only that of man, but thy aspirations may be those of a god.

For in this strange anatomy we wear, the head has greater powers than the hand; the spirit, heart, and mind are over all.
