“He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity.”

“No, I do know that I was born To age, misfortune, sickness, grief:But I will bear these with that scorn As shall not need thy false relief.Nor for my peace will I go far, As wanderers do, that still do roam;But make my strengths, such as they are, Here in my bosom, and at home.”

“He wil sooner lose his best friend, then his least jest.”

“He was not of an age, but for all time!”

“Language most shows a man; speak that I may see thee”

“Riches, the dumb god that giv'st all men tongues, / That canst do nought, and yet mak'st men do all things; / The price of souls; even hell, with thee to boot, / Is made worth heaven!”

“Mischiefs feed / Like beasts, till they be fat, and then they bleed.”
