Ambition, in a private man is a vice, is in a prince the virtue.
To doubt is worse than to have lost; And to despair is but to antedate those miseries that must fall on us.

Death hath a thousand doors to let out life.
He that would govern others, first should be the master of himself.
Virtue, thou in rags, may challenge more than vice set off with all the trim of greatness.
