Vice is but a nurse of agonies.

Friendship is made fast by interwoven benefits.

Reason! how many eyes hast thou to see evils, and how dim, nay, blind, thou art in preventing them.

It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.

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.

For the uttering sweetly and properly the conceit of the mind, English hath it equally with any other tongue in the world.

Gold can gild a rotten stick, and dirt sully an ingot.
