Revenge we find,
The abject pleasure of an abject mind
And hence so dear to poor weak woman-kind.

Everything is Greek, when it is more shameful to be ignorant of Latin.
Revenge is sweeter than life itself. So think fools.
Revenge is always the gratification of a petty and a weak and little mind.
This is my will and my command: let my will be the voucher for the deed.
I will it, I so order, let my will stand for a reason.
By his own verdict no guilty man was ever acquitted.
Nothing so intolerable as a rich woman.
Man, wretched man, whene'er he stoops to sin,
Feels, with the act, a strong remorse within.
Trust to a plank, draw precarious breath,
At most seven inches from the jaws of death.
Rare is the union of beauty and purity.
All arts his own, the hungry Greekling counts;
And bid him mount the skies, the skies he mounts.
When you do worse yourself, can you expect
Your son should hold your grey hairs in respect?
