123 quotes
Who to himself is law no law doth need,
Offends no law, and is a king indeed.
Young men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are fools.
As far as white Aurora's dews are sprinkled through the air.
Let pride go afore, shame will follow after.
I tell thee Love is Nature's second sun,
Causing a spring of virtues where he shines.
Promise is most given when the least is said.
He is at no end of his actions blest
Whose ends will make him greatest, and not best.
Each natural agent works but to this end,—
To render that it works on like itself.
'Tis leap-year, lady, and therefore very good to enter a courtier.
Men’s judgments sway on that side fortune leans.
Who hath no faith to man, to God hath none.
Love calls to war;
Sighs his alarms,
Lips his swords are,
The field his arms.
For one heat, all know, doth drive out another,
One passion doth expel another still.
He that bears himself like a gentleman, is worthy to have been born a gentleman.
Up start as many aches in's bones, as there are ouches in his skin.
Flatterers look like friends, as wolves like dogs.
