I know that…
Expectation is the root of all heartache,
and I hope that…
I shall be loved when I am lacked,
and I know that…
I hate ingratitude more in a man
than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness,
or any taint of vice whose strong corruption
inhabits our frail blood.
I think it’s important to…
Assume a virtue, if you have it not.
- And that if people told themselves to…
- Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
Then maybe greater things would be done.
I think great advice is…
Defer no time, delays have dangerous ends
But the problem is that people don’t think enough about the inevitable truth that…
Death, as the Psalmist saith, is certain to all; all shall die
For they don’t realise that…
By medicine, life may be prolonged, but death will seize the doctor too.
