...the poet, he nothing affirmeth, and therefore never lieth.
Thinking nurseth thinking.
Contentions for trifles can get but a trifling victory.
Courage ought to be guided by skill, and skill armed by courage. Neither should hardiness darken wit, nor wit cool hardiness. Be valiant as men despising death, but confident as unwonted to be overcome.
I seek no better warrant than my own, conscience.
The ingredients of health and long life, are great temperance, open air, easy labor, and little care.
