Come Sleep! Oh Sleep, the certain knot of peace, the baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe, the poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, the indifferent judge between the high and low.
Remember that in all miseries lamenting becomes fools, and action, wise folk.

The best legacy I can leave my children is free speech, and the example of using it.
A churlish courtesy rarely comes but either for gain or falsehood.
Weigh not so much what men assert, as what they prove. Truth is simple and naked, and needs not invention to apparel her comeliness.
