“If your mind dislike anything obey it”

“Put on what weary negligence you please,You and your fellows; I'll have it come to question:If he dislike it, let him to our sister,Whose mind and mine, I know, in that are one,Not to be over-ruled. Idle old man,That still would manage those authoritiesThat he hath given away! Now, by my life,Old fools are babes again; and must be usedWith cheques as flatteries,--when they are seen abused.Remember what I tell you.”

“Frame your mind to mirth and merriment which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.”

“Would the fountain of your mind were clear again,that I might water an ass at it!”

“The weight of this sad time we must obey,Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.The oldest hath borne most: we that are youngShall never see so much, nor live so long.”

“I would we were all of one mind, and one mind good.”

“O, full of scorpions is my mind!”
