“Anything that's mended is but patched. Virtue that transgresses is but patched with sin, and sin that amends is but patched with virtue”

“Some rise by sin, and some by virtues fall. ”

“Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate, Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving: O, but with mine compare thou thine own state, And thou shalt find it merits not reproving,”

“Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.”

“Virtue is chok'd with foul ambition”

“I am a man more sinned against than sinning”

“The rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance.”
