Take thou of me, sweet pillowes, sweetest bed; A chamber deafe of noise, and blind of light, A rosie garland and a weary hed.
Nothing has a letter effect upon children than praise.
It is a great happiness to be praised of them that are most praise-worthy.

Contentions for trifles can get but a trifling victory.
A brave captain is as a root, out of which, as branches, the courage of his soldiers doth spring.
