• When Envy breeds unkind division: there comes the ruin, there begins confusion.
• Wise men ne’er sit and wail their loss but cheerily seek how to redress their harms.
• This above all; to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
• This our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
• True hope is swift and flies with swallow’s wings. Kings it makes gods and meaner creatures kings.
• How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?
• Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
• Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.
• The purest treasure mortal times effort is spotless reputation - that away, men are but gilded loam or painted clay.
• Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
• Neither a borrower not a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
