Envy, like the worm, never runs but to the fairest fruit; like a cunning bloodhound, it singles out the fattest deer in the flock

Nothing's so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy

Interest makes some people blind, and others quick-sighted

The true way to gain much, is never to desire to gain too much

Let us have care not to disclose our hearts to the those who shut up theirs against us

Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven

Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.

It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it
