Light and lust are deadly enemies.

O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains!" - Cassio (Act II, Scene iii)

Fortune reigns in gifts of the world.

Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?

It is held that valor is the chiefest virtue, and most dignifies the haver.

Thou hast no figures nor no fantasies Which busy care draws in the brains of men; Therefore thou sleep'st so sound.

There is no love-broker in the world can more prevail in man's commendation with woman than report of valor.
