Obstinacy in a bad cause is but constancy in a good.

Nor do they speak properly who say that time consumeth all things; for time is not effective, nor are bodies destroyed by it.

The vices we scoff at in others laugh at us within ourselves.

Miserable men commiserate not themselves; bowelless unto others, and merciless unto their own bowels.

As sins proceed they ever multiply, and like figures in arithmetic, the last stands for more than all that wert before it.

For the world, I count it not an inn, but a hospital; and a place not to live, but to die in.

Obstinacy in a bad cause is but constancy in a good.
