Charity But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world; yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.

The noblest Digladiation is in the Theatre of ourselves.

I envy no man that knows more than myself, but pity them that know less.

Life is a pure flame and we live by an invisible sun within us.

Think it more satisfactory to live richly than die rich.

There is surely a piece of divinity in us, something was before the elements, and owes no homage unto the sun.

Times before you, when even the living men were Antiquities; when the living might exceed the dead, and to depart this world, could not be properly said, to go unto the greater number.
