Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most it promises; and oft it hits where hope is coldest, and despair most fits.
Better a little chiding than a great deal of heartbreak.
Talkers are no good doers.
Happy are they that hear their detractions, and can put them to mending.
To be a well-favoured man is the gift of fortune; but to write and read comes by nature.
Love is blind, it stops lovers seeing the silly things they do.
