It is not good to wake a sleeping lion.

Woman was formed to admire; man to be admirable. His are the glories of the sun at noonday; hers the softened splendors of the midnight moon.

There is nothing so great that I fear to do it for my friend; nothing so small that I will disdain to do it for him.

The lightsome countenance of a friend giveth such an inward decking to the house where it lodgeth, as proudest palaces have cause to envy the gilding.

No decking sets forth anything so much as affection.

Every base occupation makes one sharp in its practice, and dull in every other.

Commonly they must use their feet for defense whose only weapon is their tongue.
