Truth never comes into the world but like a bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her birth.
From John Milton
Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a good book, kills reason its self.
Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.
To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable.
They also serve who only stand and wait.
None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but licence.
Nothing profits more than self-esteem, grounded on what is just and right.
True it is that covetousness is rich, modesty starves.
When complaints are freely heard, deeply considered and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty attained that wise men look for.
Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown in courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, where most may wonder at the workmanship.
