That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Those that vow the most are the least sincere.
The surest way to fail is not to determine to succeed.
My valor is certainly going, it is sneaking off! I feel it oozing out as it were, at the palms of my hands!
Do thou snatch treasures from my lips, and I'll take kingdoms back from thine.
To smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another's breast is to become a principal in the mischief.
