I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.

I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.

Love reasons without reason.

The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.

Then was I as a tree whose boughs did bend with fruit; but in one night, a storm or robbery, call it what you will, shook down my mellow hangings, nay, my leaves, and left me bare to weather.

for my grief's so great That no supporter but the huge firm earth Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit; Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it. (Constance, from King John, Act III, scene 1)

Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.
