It is cruelty in war that buyeth conquest.
Much more may a judge overweigh himself in cruelty than in clemency.
He whom passion rules, is bent to meet his death.
Solitude, the sly enemy that doth separate a man from well-doing.
A brave captain is as a root, out of which, as branches, the courage of his soldiers doth spring.
As the fertilest ground, must be manured, so must the highest flying wit have a Daedalus to guide him.
