Men's vows are women's traitors! |
Lawless are they that make their wills their law. |
Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair. |
O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil. |
O! for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention. |
No legacy is so rich as honesty. |
Suit the action to the word, the word to the action. |
For I can raise no money by vile means. |
But men are men; the best sometimes forget. |
The attempt and not the deed confounds us. |
If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor. |
Brevity is the soul of wit. |
Where every something, being blent together turns to a wild of nothing. |
Now is the winter of our discontent. |
Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct. |
Let no such man be trusted. |
Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge. |
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. |
What is past is prologue. |
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. |
