Thinking nurseth thinking.
Ambition, like love, can abide no lingering; and ever urgeth on his own successes, hating nothing but what may stop them.
Inquisitiveness is an uncomely guest.
In the truly great, virtue governs with the sceptre of knowledge.
There is nothing sooner overthrows a weak head than opinion by authority, like too strong a liquor for a frail glass.
The truly valiant dare everything but doing anybody an injury.
