“I am a man more sinned against than sinning”

“If it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul.”

“But if it be a sin to covet honour,I am the most offending soul alive.”

“He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man. He that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him.”

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

“God made him, and therefore let him pass for a man. In truth, I know it is a sin to be a mocker, but he! why, he hath a horse better than the Neapolitan’s, a better bad habit of frowning than the Count Palentine; he is every man in no man. If a throstle sing, he falls straight a-cap’ring. He will fence with his own shadow. If I should marry him, I should marry twenty husbands.”

“Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!Give me my sin again.”
