-
Deeds, not words shall speak to me.
-

-
Vice gets more in this vicious world than piety.
-
The sins we do, people behold with optics, Which shew them ten times more than common vices, And often multiply them.
-
"Should I comfort those who do not mourn?" Some preachers are too quick and too willing to hand out pardons to sinners who do not mourn over their crimes!
-
The place that does Contain my books, the best companions, is To me a glorious court, where hourly I Converse with the, old sages and philosophers; And sometimes for variety, I confer With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels; Calling their victories, if unjustly got, Unto a strict account; and in my fancy, Deface their ill-plac'd statutes.
-
To work a fell revenge a man's a fool, if not instructed in a woman's school.
