Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven.
Envy, like the worm, never runs but to the fairest fruit; like a cunning bloodhound, it singles out the fattest deer in the flock.
Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.
Oh, love will make a dog howl in rhyme.
It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it.
Nothing's so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy.
You are no better than you should be.
Kiss till the cow comes home.
But what is past my help is past my care.
The true way to gain much, is never to desire to gain too much.
Interest makes some people blind, and others quick-sighted.
There is a method in man's wickedness; it grows up by degrees.
Bad's the best of us.
