No evil lost is wailed when it is gone.

How many things by season seasoned are To their right praise and true perfection!

If I must die, I will encounter darkness as a bride, and hug it in mine arms.

Come my spade. There is no ancient gentlemen but gardeners, ditchers, and grave-makers; they hold up Adam's profession.

The elephant hath joints, but none for courtesy; his legs are legs for necessity, not for flexure.

I'll not meddle with it; it is a dangerous thing; it makes a man a coward; a man cannot steal, but it accuseth him; a man cannot swear, but it checks him; a man cannot lie with his neighbor's wife, but it detects him. 'Tis a blushing, shame -faced spirit, that mutinies in a man's bosom ; it fills one full of obstacles; it made me once restore a purse of gold that by chance I found; it beggars any man that keeps it; it is turned out of all towns and cities for a dangerous thing; and every man that means to live well endeavors to trust to himself and live without it.

By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me.
