True dignity is never gained by place, and never lost when honors are withdrawn.

Malice scorned, puts out itself; but argued, give a kind of credit to a false accusation.

To doubt is worse than to have lost; And to despair is but to antedate those miseries that must fall on us.

We have not an hour of life in which our pleasures relish not some pain, our sours, some sweetness.

Be wise; soar not too high to fall; but stoop to rise.

Ill news are swallow-winged, but what is good walks on crutches.

Death hath a thousand doors to let out life.
