A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.

Ambition, like love, can abide no lingering; and ever urgeth on his own successes, hating nothing but what may stop them.

The general goodness, which is nourished in noble hearts makes every one think that strength of virtue to be in another whereof they find assured foundation in themselves.

Men are almost always cruel in their neighbors' faults; and make others' overthrow the badge of their own ill-masked virtue.

The glory and increase of wisdom stands in exercising it.

As well the soldier dieth who standeth still as he that gives the bravest onset.

A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.
