Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.

The weak in courage is strong in cunning.

Shame is pride's cloak.

Time is the mercy of Eternity; without Time's swiftness Which is the swiftest of all things, all were eternal torment.

How can the bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing? How can a child, when fears annoy, But droop his tender wing, And forget his youthful spring?

The moon, like a flower in heaven's high bower, with silent delight sits and smiles on the night.

Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.
