Age doth not rectify, but incurvate our natures, turning bad dispositions into worser habits.

Let him have the key of thy heart, who hath the lock of his own.

Half our days we pass in the shadow of the earth; and the brother of death exacteth a third part of our lives.

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

I cannot tell by what logic we call a toad, a bear, or an elephant ugly; they being created in those outward shapes and figures which best express the actions of their inward forms.

A wise man is out of the reach of fortune.

It is the common wonder of all men, how among so many million faces, there should be none alike.
