Lay this unto your breast: Old friends, like old swords, still are trusted best.
From John Webster
Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.
Integrity of life is fame's best friend, which nobly, beyond death, shall crown in the end.
When a man's mind rides faster than his horse can gallop they quickly both tire.
In all our quest of greatness, like wanton boys, whose pastime is their care, we follow after bubbles, blown in the air.
Eagles commonly fly alone. They are crows, daws, and starlings that flock together.
Men often are valued high, when they are most wretched.
Sorrow is held the eldest child of sin.
A politician is the devil's quilted anvil; He fashions all sins on him, and the blows are never heard.
All things do help the unhappy man to fall.
