Man is his own star, and that soul that can
Be honest is the only perfect man.
The Honest Man's Fortune (1613)
Corruption is a tree, whose branches are
Of an immeasurable length: they spread
Ev'rywhere; and the dew that drops from thence
Hath infected some chairs and stools of authority.
The Honest Man's Fortune (1613)
From the crown of our head to the sole of our foot.
The Honest Man's Fortune (1613)
Thy clothes are all the soul thou hast.
The Honest Man's Fortune (1613)
As high as Heaven, as deep as Hell.
The Honest Man's Fortune (1613)
Man is his own star, and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early, or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still;
And when the stars are labouring, we believe
It is not that they govern, but they grieve
For stubborn ignorance; all things that are
Made for our general uses, are at war, —
Even we among ourselves; and from the strife,
Your first unlike opinions got a life.
