Woman takes her being from man, man takes his well being from woman.
He that will be knighted must kneel for it, and he that will enter in at the strait gate must crowd for it-a gate made so on purpose, narrow and hard in the entrance, yet, after we have entered, wide and glorious, that after our pain our joy may be the sweeter.
He who sends the storm steers the vessel.
No man more truly loves God than he that is most fearful to offend Him.
He who demands mercy and shows none ruins the bridge over which he himself is to pass.
Even the tired horse, when he comes near home, mends pace: be good always, without weariness, but best at last; that the nearer thou comest to the end of thy days, the nearer thou mayest be to the end of thy hopes, the salvation of thy soul.
