Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment.

Justice is lame as well as blind, amongst us.

Oh woman! lovely woman! nature made thee To temper man; we had been brutes without you; Angels are painted fair to look like you; There's in you all that we believe of heaven, Amazing brightness, purity, and truth, Eternal joy, and everlasting love.

Let us embrace, and from this very moment vow an eternal misery together.

Cowards are scared with threatenings; boys are whipped into confession; but a steady mind acts of itself, ne'er asks the body counsel.

No flattery, boy! an honest man cannot live by it; it is a little, sneaking art, which knaves use to cajole and soften fools withal.

The worst thing an old man can be is a lover.
