We make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villians by compulsion.
And when I am forgotten, as I shall be, And asleep in dull cold marble, where no mention Of me must be heard of, say, I taught thee.
I would give all of my fame for a pot of ale and safety.
Good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used.
Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.
Patch grief with proverbs.
