Man is no star, but a quick coal Of mortal fire: Who blows it not, nor doth control A faint desire,
There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it.
Be thrifty, but not covetous.
War makes thieves and peace hangs them.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.
