And let a scholar all earth's volumes carry, he will be but a walking dictionary: a mere articulate clock. ”

Be free all worthy spirits, and stretch yourselves, for greatness and for height. ”

For one heat, all know, doth drive out another, One passion doth expel another still. ”

Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects. Extreme heat kills, and so extreme cold: extreme love breeds satiety, and so extreme hatred; and too violent rigor tempts chastity, as does too much license. ”

Let no man under value the price of a virtuous woman's counsel. ”

Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least. ”

We inherit nothing truly, but what our actions make us worthy of. ”
