They that possess the prince possess the laws.
From John Dryden
Shame on the body for breaking down while the spirit perseveres.
But far more numerous was the herd of such, Who think too little, and who talk too much.
For they conquer who believe they can.
All objects lose by too familiar a view.
Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more; if future fortunes were known before!
He has not learned the first lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.
Genius must be born, and never can be taught.
Ill habits gather unseen degrees, as brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.
Go miser go, for money sell your soul. Trade wares for wares and trudge from pole to pole, So others may say when you are dead and gone. See what a vast estate he left his son.
