I esteem death a trifle, if not caused by guilt.
In grasping at uncertainties we lost that which is certain.
He that would eat the nut must crack the shell.
Slander-mongers and those who listen to slander, if I had my way, would all be strung up, the talkers by the tongue, the listeners by the ears.
It is best to know the worst at once.
Women have many faults, but the worst of them all is that they are too pleased with themselves and take too little pains to please the men.
