Assume a virtue, if you have it not. That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat, Of habits devil, is angel yet in this, That to the use of actions fair and good He likewise gives a frock or livery That aptly is put on. Refrain tonight, And that shall lend a kind of easiness To the next abstinence; the next more easy; For use almost can change the stamp of nature.

In brief, sir, study what you most affect.

O God, O God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!

An arrant traitor as any is in the universal world, or in France, or in England.

Good wombs have borne bad sons." -- (Miranda, I:2)

The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.
